What about annealing rods with fused shorts on them, glass that was shocky or twisties? Spare space is nice, it can be used.
A couple of weeks ago I finally obtained the bead door - nearly 93$ for the door resulted in 185$ total - shipping is that expensive (when I bought my SC2 some years ago I did not think that one day I buy a torch and "saved" money - ordered with a window door (a bead door one was 15 UK pounds more expensive, ordered from UK). If I damage the kiln I have two choices - change the country to live or start building kilns (option "give up glass can not be considered)
