thick salt shelves

In my salt kiln I'm using 5/8 inch silicon carbide shelves left over from an
old reduction kiln from years ago. When they wear out, which they do, I'll
replace them with 3/4" or one inch if I can find them. The only problem with
the thicker shelves is cost and wear on your back. Be careful.
