Name SKUTT PEEP HOLE PLUGS
Description Skutt's peep plugs are made of high quality porcelain. The holes are coated with refractory cement for durability and tapered so you can twist lock the plugs in. This secure fit prevents them from falling out and breaking.
Other Information The peephole and its plug play an important part in the fring of your kiln. The hole has a couple functions:

1. The hole allows moisture that is driven off by the heat, to escape the kiln.

2. The hole also allows oxygen into the kiln, which helps burn out organic material during the slow bisque. This is important because if the organic materials are not all burnt off they will again burn off during the glaze fire; producing gas that can cause glaze defects.

3. The hole provides you a way to look into the kiln at different levels (always use eye protection) to see well-placed senior cones or our favorite self-supporting cones that measure the Heat Work (time & temperature) that has occurred. These cones are accurate and give you great information that allow you to make adjustments to your kiln sitters, and firing schedules, and check the accuracy of your controllers to help you create more consistent and accurate firings.
