A stable lightweight low mass recrystallized silicon carbide kiln furniture module (M&M') adapted for mounting on a kiln car (C, C') has a plurality of triangularly arranged post support blocks (20, 20') and hollow one piece vertical posts (30, 30', 30', 32, 32') inserted therein. The posts are provided with vertically spaced ledges (30a, 32a) or hollow pins (30a', 32a') or notches 30a' supporting refractory batts (34, 34', 34') and hollow end caps (36, 38, 36') with tie pins (36a, 38a, 36a') insertable into upper open ends thereof. Thin overlapping tie plates (40, 40') each with triangularly arranged holes interconnect with and tie the tie pins, (36a, 38a, 36a') end caps (36, 38, 36') and posts (30, 30', 30', 32, 32') together and a hollow tie bar (42, 42') interconnects with and ties the posts (32, 32') and overlapping inner portions of the tie plates (40, 40') together.
