car kiln and falling pots (re: electric vs. gas: cost of firing)

Rebecca... I have never had a problem with falling pots in the kiln.... The
kiln runs on tracks that forms a "^" and the wheels form a "v". The wheels
contain ball bearing and run very smoothly on the tracks. You push and
pull on the car with smooth and slow moving forces... so there is not a
problem. Marshall
