I’ve heard that...

I’ve heard that crash cooling is not good for kiln bricks and elements. How about rapid ramps up?

Fast ramps are no harder on kilns than slow ramps. So you can fire as fast as you want. Forced cooling doesn’t seem to be hard on kilns. However, forced cooling could break a shelf.
I want to fire decals. Is there any way to vent the lid on a kiln If the kiln is firing longer than usual, how can you tell if it is overfiring?
