Abstract:
Methods of firing ware in a furnace. At least one stack of ware is positioned in a ware space of a furnace. The stack of ware comprises a plurality of ware articles arranged such that at least laterally adjacent ware articles are spaced apart. The at least one stack of ware is heated in the ware space of the furnace. At least one gas is introduced into the ware space on a first side of the at least one stack of ware as the stack is heated. A flow condition of the at least one gas is adjusted to create a pressure differential within the furnace across at least a portion of the ware space such that at least some of the at least one gas flows through the at least one stack of ware.
