1. In a furnace wall assembly comprising an inner wall panel and an outer wall panel spaced apart by at least one structurally supporting, thermally conductive member, the improvement wherein said member is a substantially U-shaped metal channel, the base of the U-shaped channel having therein at least three rows of longitudinally disposed slits, the slits in each row being in staggered relation with respect to the slits in the next adjacent row and the metal on at least one side of each slit being displaced with respect to the plane formed by the channel base.

2. An assembly as in claim 1 wherein the metal on one side of the slits on the outer rows of slits is displaced with respect to the plane of the base and the metal on both sides of all intermediate rows is displaced in opposite directions with respect to said plane.
