I have replaced them twice with parts supplied by Costech. They
considered it a warranty repair and there was no charge. I don't know
what the wire they are using is rated to, but we are now, per their
recommendation, only taking the combustion side up to 1000C. It's
easier to get the quartz inserts out at this lower T.
