Clay baker/cloche cooking times

I have a recipe I use for baking whole grain bread in a loaf pan. I want to cook the same dough recipe in a preheated oblong clay baker. Any suggestions for adjusting temp and/or cook time?

none that I can think of.  Watch your fingers and use a sling of baking parchment to lower the dough into the hot baker.

First wet cotton gloves, and now a parchment paper sling.  You are full of awesome tips and tricks.  

I am waiting for your book.  In the vein of Hints from Heloise, you could call it "Maxims from Mini Oven"  ;-)
