Oh Vince, I fear to ask, can you substantiate “life-threatening injury”?
I buy “destroy the kiln! “  But life threatening seems over blown, no?

Let’s go to there? And deaths by kiln you’ve heard of?

“Here's another example of how stubborn that impacted water can be.  You
have no doubt heard about people trying to re-fire a low-porosity vitrified
form after it has been in use.  A good example would be a teapot that
someone has been using every day, but then they decide that the glaze would
benefit from refiring.  In the firing, such a form can explode from the
impacted moisture, and it can destroy the kiln or even cause
life-threatening injury.”

roxanne in Oregon where April and May have been like winter. Which is great
because WE WILL BURN IN SUMMER! And need any moisture at all!
