Abstract: The present invention relates to kiln car refractory furniture. In combination, (a) a kiln car having chassis that carries a platform; (b) a curb of a row of a plurality of hollow load-bearing refractory modules aligned along the periphery of the platform of the kiln car; and (c) an insulating amount of refractory insulation dispersed between the modules and laying over the platform of the kiln car. Each load-bearing hollow refractory module further comprises: (i) a hollow body formed of a refractory material having spaced walls and a top wall defining a hollow insulating space; (ii) at least one socket means for supporting a refractory post where the post in turn supports a load of refractory ware; (iii) a securing means for supporting the socket means spaced apart from the platform of the kiln car; and (iv) surfaces on the body adapted to interlock with surfaces on another abutting module.
