Thanks to everyone who responded to my lin shelf questions! Next question:
I tend to fire both electric and gas up to cone 10. What is the difference
between Cordierite, Mullite, and Silicon Carbide shelves?

from a working stand point.

good - Cordierite. Better - Mullite, Best - Silicon Carbide, THE VERY
BEST - Advancer Shelves from Fire Brick Supply.
