After cooling and cracking another new quartz reactor column on the C+N
EA I am wondering if anyone has instead tried using thicker walled
ceramic columns normally used for pyrolysis?  Seems to me these are far
more robust and could be easily cleaned out and reused without the
filthy mess left by shattered qtz reactors? 

Anyone tested this? Pros, Cons?
