I don't think this got through the first time. I didn't get back the usual message.

Thanks

>When I buy an electric kiln that has to be hard wired, does the wiring that connects the kiln and the electrical box come with the kiln or do I have to buy that separately?

>Can I mix and match shelves in the kiln? I would like to buy Advancers for the kiln, but they will cost almost as much as the kiln. Can I buy a couple of Advancers and a couple of more conventional shelves and fire with both kinds in the same kiln load until I can afford to buy all Advancers?

>Does anyone know anything about the new shelves advertised by Continental Clay, the CoreLite shelves, either from experience or intuition? They are advertised as having I beam hollow-core construction, 24% lighter, superior heat circulation and sag resistant. The only thing missing is that they clean themselves. So, any opinions?
