I put the lower ring(only using three rings) on low with the lid ajar about 5 inches. Just going to let it soak like that for most the evening. Late tonight, I may close the lid and soak it till morning than turn the other two rings on low. There are really only a few critical points in a bisque firing. First is when you start it to make sure the pieces are completely dry. Than up to about 400° can go in a few hours. soak it After that about 950-1050(point of quartz inversion) needs to be done slowly and soaked. After that, I'll run it up pretty quickly.

Timer must have went off some time last night. No biggie. it was still warm inside this morning about 7 AM. So I just put the bottom two on low. Lid is still up. Probably will close the lid and put ther top ring on low about noon. Suppose it's going to take a bit longer to get to temperature. I have to clean up the garasge today and give it back to Mrs. West. Weather is calling for cold rain and snow here. P.S> Good luck on your workshop. It sounds like something I should really attend.
