Thanks Ivor
I work in the electronics field and use heat sinks on many
devices to pull heat "away" from them to help extend the life
of said device. I was most intrigued by your explanation of using
a sager as a "thermal ballast". I only saw a sager as a form of
isolated reduction in the kiln atmosphere. I have been thinking of
building a sager for some smaller pieces,but know will be thinking
a little bigger. Great things come from down under.... Thanks again!!
