Hi Craig,
Pardon me, but what are K2000 IFB's?
Thanks, Carol
> Seems to me that the easiest and least expensive solution to this
situation is to purchase a box (25) of K2000 IFB's and place them on top of
the lid once the kiln has been loaded. The total cost of this solution
would be less than $75 and would require less than 5 minutes of "work" each
firing. This solution would also slow the cooling cycle down considerably.

Carol,
I think I have this right. K2000's refer to insulating fire brick made
by a company in the United States called Thermal Ceramics. The bricks
(actually K20's) are rated for continuous service at 2,000 degrees
Fahrenheit. G2000's are same duty rating, but made by A.P. Green, also a
U.S. company.
The 2,000 degree-rated bricks, lighter and cheaper than bricks rated for
continuous use at 2,300 degrees F or higher, would be a good choice for use
on top of a kiln lid where the temperature wouldn't be hotter than 2,000
degrees F.
Good firing!
