As a short person,
I always had to stand on a crate to reach the bottom,
and often figured it was safer to just lean on the
edge.=20
Snail,you could build a deck out of scrap 2x4's that would be very =
stable. Or,put a piece of plywood on a pallet. --Bob

Snail also mentioned that the stand was too small and that it did
not support the walls of the kiln. A larger stand is inexpensive
and will make the kiln bottom last longer.

In my old kiln shed, I had such a 'deck' made of
shipping pallets. Unfortunately, my current kiln
yard occupied the scant 6' width between the
property-line fence and the studio, so I need
to keep it clear as a thoroughfare for the meter
readers, bicycles, and my hand truck. I sometimes
laid a plank across crates, but since it wasn't a
permanent fixture, I'd often trade the hassle of
building the step for the hassle of leaning over
the kiln top. Just laziness, really. On the other
hand, the new 'short' kiln stand with its extra
insulation is working just dandy. Easier to load,
and fires more evenly, too.
