Re: Pricing firebrick

I called HC Muddox in Sacramento a while back and although they do not sell direct to the public they can sell seconds to the public for 0.30 a brick. I have not visited them to find out what a second looks like but if you are in the Sacramento area it may be worth the phone call.

Re: Pricing firebrick

Matt - there was a builder in Reno (Acoma) that bought the seconds - worked for him. I think Dusty and Frenchy did as well ( Nor cal builders)

Re: Pricing firebrick

Thanks Les, in the end I think I am going to sign up for the Forno Bravo Kit as I am not crazy about the idea of driving to Sacramento only to find out that the seconds are not quite good enough or there are not enough of them. However, if you are in the Sacramento area I bet it is well worth a field trip to check it out.

Re: Pricing firebrick

Hi guys,

Yes, I just bought "seconds" for $0.30 a pop. I followed Dusty's advice and I have more than enough "perfect" pieces for my floor and dome. Some discoloration, but that is not a concern for me. HC Muddox in Sacramento, CA.

I was lucky enough to find two pallets of Pacific Clay seconds for $50 apiece.

Re: Pricing firebrick

Gianna, that is a great price. I just ordered some Pacific Clay bricks from Home Depot and paid $1.16 ... Which I thought was not bad.

Re: Pricing firebrick

cholme,

$1.16 is about the going rate for PC firebricks. The local building supply guy charges $1.20. The satisfaction of building such a cool oven that is thousands less than a precast one far exceeds the $300 in bricks you spend, IMO.

Post lotsa pics!

Re: Pricing firebrick

Hello. I live in Southern California. Can you tell me where you bought your bricks from? Thanks.

Re: Pricing firebrick

I had Home Depot special order them. They are from Pacific Clay (Castaic Brick) and cost $1.16. I got my fireclay from Ace Building Supply in Van Nuys. Hope that helps. Good luck with your build, post some pics.

Re: Pricing firebrick

There are a lot of places in Phoenix to get firebrick, just search for "masonry suppliers".

Re: Pricing firebrick

Compared to Perth, Australia prices, they are almost free!

Marvel masonry, Phoenix brick yard and most Home Depots wil have them. Marvel also has fire clay!

Drop a note if you need other suppliers

Merry Christmas
