Hi

As my wood fired soda kiln is small, firing my platters on edge would use
the least space, are there any tricks to keeping them from warping??

Bryan,
I suggest that you lean a shelf under your platter to help prevent
warpage. The shelf will need to be supported creatively...maybe against
the side wall of the kiln.
