I'm looking for suggestions for shelf stacking pattern for a geil style =
kiln.

My kiln is 60" x 54" wall to wall 5 burners each side and double =
venturi flue box.

Right now I'm planning 2" off the floor with a 6" space on the burner =
sides and 5 inches front and back of the shelf stack. I'm also =
considering a 1" space down the middle front to back.

I would appreciate any suggestions, especially anyone with experience =
firing larger downdrafts (this is 60cu.ft+ stacking space) or geil =
kilns.

Thanks,
Ben
Hoping to fire it in a couple a weeks.=20

It isn't a Geil. It merely has a similar burner configuration. Might be
