I didn't read your edit right away, and at first, I wanted to respond "says who?" But given your edit, I completely agree. In my experience with soft glass it's too sensitive to thermal shock to "get away" with this.

I'm considering other kilns, and I doubt I'll be buying for awhile. There are many kilns out there with that basic design only larger, and I might do something like that.

SGA: Good call on noting the space surrounding an object inside the kiln. This makes the kiln I linked to quite small.
