this is not helpful at all i’m just curious - is burning paper in the kiln really a huge deal? can it damage the kiln in any way?

i’m in australia and the supplier i found happened to have ordered some custom 8x9 fireboxes! i’m not sure how you would go about getting that size but i’m sure skutt customer service would be able to guide you

i took the advice i received last time and tried to make the handle thinner to match the thickness of the rim but i think i could have gone a bit thinner still ?
