Hi I'm Betty Ingham on behalf of Expert Village. And then you put all of your green ware in there and you get post and these are your post as you can see this on is to short so I'm going to have to get some larger post to make sure that our shelve would go up here. When it is completely full and will fill it very very full because they can touch each other and they can even stack a few things on top of each like these Christmas ornaments we can stack those and 3,2,4 and we stack those and we utilize every spot in the electric keel. Now if I start the electric keel this afternoon I probably won't unload until tomorrow afternoon. It takes about 8 hours for it to fire and then it takes 10-12 for it to cool off and we do not open the lid until it gets to 250 degrees and then we take it out.
