DIY kiln stilts firing help?

So I started a glaze firing an hour ago and realised I hadn’t bisque fired my diy kiln stilts. It is my first time using them and they are holding up a sculpture I spent a lot of time on. Should I stop the firing and reprogram the firing schedule to the ramp up would be slow (like a bisque)? Or is it okay if I fire it with my glaze schedule?

The stilts are not too thick maybe like 0,3 -0,5 cm but it does make me nervous. But I also don’t want to stop the kiln now. What should I do?

My firing schedule is

  1. 200°/2h
  2. soak for 10 minutes
  3. 1170/ 5h = 194° per hour
  4. soak 15 minutes
  5. 1140 /15 minutes
  6. soak 10 minutes
