Stuck picking a new glory hole for the shop

I had to pick between a bigger, more expensive glory hole from a known brand or a smaller, cheaper one from a local guy. I went with the local one to save some cash and support a small business. It heats up fine, but the opening is a bit tight for some of my bigger pieces, you know? Anyone else run into this and find a good way to work around it?

Ever try heating the piece a bit more before you put it in to make it easier to fit?

That "opening is a bit tight" sounds frustrating! @caleb_bell's idea about extra heat is smart, but have you tried warming the glory hole's collar itself a little first? Sometimes just getting that edge to expand slightly makes all the difference for a tricky fit.
