Hi Aarti,
Oranges and Reds need very little time in the kiln because they burn out quickly, so you should be firing them last - After stoning your piece, it becomes dull - so you put it back in the kiln for a brief amount of time- bringing the kiln up to temperature - the glass begins to shine - that should be not more than a minute - depending on how long it takes your kiln to come up to the temperature you had it set on before you opened the door-
As far as your oranges and reds not getting proper firing time - just check on them periodically- take them out and look at them and put them back - wait a bit and look again - I try to watch the second hand on my watch - when 30 seconds it up - I open the kiln and look! and if I must, I pull the piece out and look at it - I would rather keep pulling it in and out , then have the red burn up-
hope this helps!
