After this preliminary stage is passed the intensity of the heat should be gradually increased, and by the third day all the brick in the kiln should be about red hot, and when once under full fire the kiln must not be neglected or allowed, under any circumstances, to cool down, but the fires must be steadily continued until the glaze has run bright.
