Hi Jayna,

You can use three per shelf if you set them in a tripod and it will be very
stable.

Also, if you have any firebrick available that will work for "stilts"
(pillars), also called "posts".

Make sure it is firebrick, not house brick, or it can melt in the firing.

I hope this helps!

Michelle
