Limit catch-up time
When the catch-up feature is enabled, the kiln will continue firing and shift the schedule until the set temperature is reached. This is useful, but in the event the kiln never catches up, firing will continue forever unless there is manual intervention.
It would be safer if some time-out limit could be specified, after which the catch-up is abandoned and the firing terminates.
Aside: My pottery wife loves her kiln-controller and I am her hero for setting it up! Thanks!
Skutt ceramic kiln controllers have a min climb rate. If it can't do or exceed the min then it throws an error and shuts down.

Definitely a must safety feature!
