For years I used shelves that had been
part of the set up to fire toilet tanks.
I believe these came from Medicine Hat
after they shut down the toilet firing operation.
Some of them are still perfectly flat, others are domed.
I am not sure what these shelves are made of but they still function
very well.
I have saved them for when I build my wood kiln.
Would they be silicon carbide?

Hi Earl,
The first kiln shelves I ever had for my gas kiln were silican carbide -
heavy mothers - 1 inch thick - I don't think the alumina shelves were even
available back then.
Those sheves "grew" - got thicker in the center over time - in other words
- became slightly rounded.
Does anyone have an explanation about why - I thought it was the reduction
???
