Dear Hank Murrow,=20

You are telling me that the external walls of your Kilns are made form =
Stainless Steel and the Fibre is faced on the interior wall with a skin =
of Stainless steel so the you have a metal-refractory fibre-metal =
sandwich.

Incredible !

Best regards,

Ivor Lewis.

Yes it would be incredible if it were true. Actually, my kiln has a
16ga stainless shell with a 6.5" folded fiber lining. You can see it

Scroll down to the kiln article.

Cheers, Hank
