Overview
AMACO's square kiln posts hold your kiln shelves at the spacing each load needs. They are mullite, rated to Cone 10 (2381°F), and 1 5/8 inch square with a hollow square core. Choose from six heights, 1 to 6 inches, and mix them to fit tall and short work in the same firing. Set the first shelf on 1 inch posts so it sits above the kiln floor. Support each shelf on three posts, and line the posts up from one layer to the next so the weight goes straight down. They work with any kiln shelf, including AMACO's Excel half shelves.
