Note the unique door arrangement with a tri wheel roller incorporated into the door bracing.

 

Soda ports are hard brick lined, the soft brick interior was coated with a zircon wash to extend its life.

Note the re-crystallized silicon carbide shelves.  Brand names such as Advancer.  Robbie has been using them in salt firings for several years with no ill effects.  She does however use modest amounts of salt (less than 4 lbs per firing).  The lightness of the shelves makes loading a breeze and increased the amount of pots that can be packing into a firing.
