Sage Real Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Hello, I am located in Southern California and really need some kiln shelves 26”) and posts for a larger kiln. I am looking for people who may have parts they are willing to sell we recently upgraded and are getting ready to convert this kiln for propane hoping to save a few bucks if possible!

Mark C. Posted June 14 Report Share Posted June 14 26 x what? I'm assuming 11". You need a better description . The gold standard is 12x24-I have some advancers for sale in that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyn Patty Posted Saturday at 11:24 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:24 AM Also check your local Craigslist and Facebook Marketplace. I don't know about you but there is always a TON of used ceramics supplies, kilns, and furniture constantly available in my area if I go looking. These days less on Craigslist but lots and lots on FB marketplace. Asheville area though is huge on wheel thrown pottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hulk Posted Wednesday at 09:02 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 09:02 AM Hi Lana9, Welcome to the Forum! Kiln shelves are "...support element...flat, rigid surface which carries the ware during firing, sintering or heat treatment." Here is Mark C. with his car kiln*, where thirteen levels have been glaze fired. The large flat horizontals are kiln shelves; the vertical supports between levels are posts. Shelves and posts are "kiln furniture" - there are some other types of supports ...shelves and posts may be the most common. Note that Mark's shelves are remarkably thin! The thin (and comparatively light!) type are more expensive, however, they last well, leave more room for wares, and allow for a much lower total load (in mass). This article explores different types of shelving: The 5 Types of Kiln Shelves You Need to Know About - Blog (baileypottery.com) *From a Ceramic Monthly magazine article, "Lessons Learned Over Time" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
