Charcoal Kiln Cycle Timer
Keep ignition, heat-up, carbonization, sealing, and cooling on one field-ready timeline.
Notifications stay on the device, and the draft is saved locally, so the timer still works when the connection is weak or unavailable.
Inputs, drafts, and logs stay in this browser and are never sent to a server.
Notifications stay on the device, and the timer keeps working without a connection.

Heat-up

Raise the kiln temperature and watch the exhaust.
Carbonization
90 min
Track the carbonization window and vent changes.
Sealing
30 min
Close the air inlets and switch to sealing steps.
Cooling
480 min
Leave enough time for the kiln to cool safely.

FAQ
Does it work offline?
Yes. Once the page is loaded, the timer, draft, and in-page alerts work without a network connection.
Can I change the phase order?
Yes. Move phases up or down, duplicate them, or remove them before you start the run.
What happens if I reload the page?
The locally saved draft is restored, including the current cycle setup and timer position.
Will browser notifications always appear?
No. The browser must support notifications and the user must allow them. If not, the page still shows local toasts.
Are the timings exact?
They are only as accurate as the device clock and the phase durations you enter. Use kiln safety procedures first.
Notes
- This is an operational aid, not a safety guarantee or a quality certification.
- Follow your kiln's own procedure, safety rules, and environmental checks first.
- Clear the saved draft after use on a shared device.
- Decimal minutes accept both `.` and `,`.
- Browser notifications require permission; if they are denied, the timer still works.
