Best lightweight shelves for a wood kiln? My 18" x 18" silicon carbide shelves are a bit too heavy for my aging back...

  I use advancers in my gas kilns for past 30 years.
  
  They do not like thermo shock .
  
  If I where you I would ask this question on one of the wood kiln firing sites.
  
  Most wood folks I know use thick heavy shelves
  
  -I use in my salt kiln for example the 1 inch thick 33 pounds per shelve (for a 12x24) dry pressed English high alumina shelves
  
  wood firing is hard the older you get-all pottery is that way really-My 8 tons a year is hard on me at 68 yaers old
