Overview
This is a kiln furniture kit sized for the Skutt KM-818 kiln, providing the shelves and posts needed to stack pieces inside the chamber. Kiln furniture is a wear item that gets replaced as it cracks or warps with repeated firings, and this kit is built to the KM-818's specific dimensions.
Kiln furniture kits are model-specific because a shelf that is even a little oversized will not clear the elements or the lid, so buyers should confirm this is listed for the KM-818 rather than a nearby Skutt model before ordering. The 5/8 inch thickness is a step up from thinner shelves, which generally hold up better to heavy or repeated stoneware firings.
- Built for the Skutt KM-818 kiln
- 5/8 inch shelf thickness
- Furniture kit: shelves and posts

Who it's for
Fits Skutt KM-818 kiln owners who need replacement or additional shelving and posts rather than a whole new kiln. Not useful to anyone without a KM-818, since kiln furniture is sized to a specific chamber.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sized specifically for the Skutt KM-818
- 5/8 inch shelves are thicker than typical starter furniture
- Replaces worn furniture without buying a new kiln
- Only fits the KM-818, not other Skutt models
- Shelf and post count not listed
Performance notes
5/8 inch shelves are thicker than the standard 1/2 inch furniture many starter kits ship with, which typically means less sag over repeated high-fire loads and a longer service life before a shelf needs replacing.
