Replacement wires come six to a pack and are 10" long nichrome wires that are 9 gauge. The wires rest on grooves in the rack, so they can be easily rearranged to accommodate different size pieces. The wires are heavy gauge metal and can withstand multiple firings. We recommend that if you are firing heavy items, you use shorter wires.
The wires have a maximum weight rating of approximately 13 grams per inch (for example 82 grams per 6" wire) resulting in some deflection of the wire.
For little to no deflection, the wires should carry no more than 3.5 grams per inch (for example 20.75 grams per 6" wire).
For best results distribute weight evenly across the wire.
All values have been tested at cone 6, results at higher cones may vary.
Maximum firing temperature is Cone 10 (2400 F).
