I have a similar shop for sale in California if any of you Left Coast folks are looking for a great deal on a sweet shop. I reeeeally don't want to store in- she likes being fired up.

Isn't a glory hole made from just frax really dangerous?

It's an old solution, even outlined in the first volume of Glassnotes. The material is bad if overfired and as most everyone knows, turns to a sort of crystalline dust. It seems to me that if it is coated with colloidal silica mixed with zirconium that it becomes a very hard ceramic shell that doesn't go anywhere. When you tear it down it will certainly be an issue.

My problem with frax gloryholes has always been simple. They do not retain heat so when you open the big door, it's like a VW loaded with six overweight guys on a long hill. No Oomph.
