Jim;
Are you going to reduce any of these: throw them through the silver fire? I see a couple of colors that look like that might be part of the plan. Would say by the look of the cone up front; you reached maturity. Nice pieces; will wait for some close ups- this old puter does not show color very well anymore.

I reduce the pots i single fire in my gas kiln on the way down . i dont bisque and i rarely refire anything.I dont reduce this kiln because its close to the wall and has a wood deck above it, not to mention bedroom windows right above it.( i get enough grief from my wife already for turning our home into an industrial wasteland) I got some nice 4'' crystals on some of those,pretty good for recycle clay 8hrs soaking
I think you need to get a google plus account and show us what you got

Jim:
Spent a couple of hours Saturday transferring pictures to Photobucket: seen others using it in here. Then spent another hour trying to get them to come up in the Forum. Not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am doing something. What I got is a bunch of boring tile; with an extremely high profit margin. Not a thrower, nor do I care to become one. What I am working on is a cone 6 glaze with the same properties as cone 10. Although I did order some press molds for vertical work this week: only so I can play with some seeding ideas and a no run glaze idea. If neither work; who cares: I at least had the pleasure of trying.

I like test results, but we need details!

Jim:
Love the yellow group in the back, and the copper reductions up front. Can see why reduction is so popular; gives that unique color and variegation. You know where to look for test tiles: will let you know if I find anything of substance- for a small fee of course.
