Default Bullseye and Effetre annealing?

I have been messing around with my schedules on my kilns, and now can't find the most recent ideal temps for annealing Bullseye and Effetre beads.

I seem to remember;
1.As I work I place the beads in the kiln, and garage at 940 d.
2.When done bead making, hold for 20 min.
3.Slow ramp down at 100 dph to 700d.
4.Kiln Off

Now I don't remember if that was BE (90 coe) or Effetre (104 coe).

Would someone please tell me how they schedule the kiln each type of glass beads? And if the same schedule could be used for both types of glass?

I hold the kiln at 980 while I'm working, be it 104 or BE. First, I have a ChiliPepper kiln and I find that opening the door to put the bead in let's out a fair amount of heat. Second, I can anneal both 104 and BE without any problems this way. I will have to check my schedule and get back to you. I set it a while back, so I can't remember it exactly.

My kiln is an Arrow Springs Bead Annealing kiln, and I preheat rods also.
My front door is always a open a bit.

Thanks,
Lori
