Mystery underfire

I fired a kiln yesterday with the intention to have two stoneware glazes go many bright colors, with two different atmospheres in the one kiln; oxidation on one and reduction in the other.  But tragedy stikes when a burner wont light, the pyro is above a burner and the cones are faulty melting before 700ºc ...
No breakages or runs however!

I think I will next time reduce for less time and go higher in temp ... the colors are too dark and I don't think I am a fan.
