 One major problem March 17, 2008

My property is dotted with firing pits, raku kilns and various "seat of the pants" fiber and fire brick kilns. I decided to follow the excellent instructions for Hiromi Itabashi's small gas kiln. I have purchased all the material exactly as specified but one; The "stacking shelves". He has specific dimensions of 13"x17.7", and in the photo they look more like refractory board than a kiln shelf. I have been unable to locate any kind of kiln shelf in these dimensions. I wonder if they are specific to Japan. It looks to me like these specific dimensions are necessary to proper heat distribution. In any case this makes the kiln he presents useless.
