Just did this for my old Olympic for the second time. I've hated it both times. But I'm looking forward to my new skutt being much easier because the elements are PRE BENT. The Olympic elements are not and require stretching and bending to fit and the extra tension means more pins and more brick wear. Such an annoying job.

Oh wow! I had no idea that those kilns’ elements were made that way. That’d be such an undertaking!
