    I'm not sure that giving you a firing schedule that I use would necessarily work in your kiln. Each one is different, as you are experiencing!

     I fire fast, 450 F per hour up to 2000 F, then 250F per hour to 2274- crash cool (in my kiln, that's 250F per hour) down to 1650F, hold for 10 minutes if I'm not firing Iron red, hold for 60 minutes if I am firing red, cool 150F per hour to 1500, off.

    I have never really had pinholing/pitting problems with my glazes. I have heard that bisque firing slowly can help, and maybe experiment with a temp hold during the glaze firing might help smooth things out...

     

    Have you duplicated the firing schedule that the co-op uses?  Try posting the glaze formula, and your firing schedule, some pics, as a blog post or in the discussion forum. Some of the glaze gurus around here might also be able to identify what the problem is.

    Good Luck!
