    I'd always heard the same thing about burnout kilns and enameling.
    In the summer I usually teach an enameling class. I bring in two of
    my small kilns and use the jewelry class burnout kiln as a third
    kiln. I've been doing this for 4 years. I note no differences in the
    appearance of the enamels fired in the burnout kiln as compared to
    my "enamels only" kilns. Everyone is using the same set of Thompson
    enamels and often the same colors. I always make sure that the
    burnout kiln is vacuumed out and very clean inside.
