They look alot like the bricks I used in my build which were 9 x 5.875 x 3 which I cut in half and used on my dome and arch. Look at my picture log.

Re: Super Excited to start new project

I found very minimal info on these bricks, if you look at the craigslist add, the brick says Aladin 80. Is that the Manufacture? .

http://jjmedina.com.ec/HW132_High_Alumina_Basic_Brick_Brochure.pdf

ALADIN? 80 An 80% alumina brick produced from imported
calcined bauxite. Has good hot strength, predictable reheat
expansion characteristics, and good thermal shock resistance.
Can be used in the lower calcining and cooling zones where
greater refractoriness is required.

Does this stuff sound dangerous to you?

Re: Super Excited to start new project

You're have to make the offer with the seller. So, you're trying to save about .9cents a brick? Why not .20 cents per brick, but if all fail be willing to pay the full .85c, which is still a fair bargain.

Im sorry, he accepted $250, but i think i can get him to go lower, My question was will 325 bricks be enough? i plan on laying some on the floor of a grill which i plan to build. I think about 270 bricks go into a 42" oven? am i right?

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Im offering $250 for 325 pieces. Will that be enough?

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Yes, you will have to do some cutting anyway, not many on this forum use full bricks to construct their domes. At .85c a brick that a good buy, jump on it if you can afford, or make an offer to see how low he will go, if you are ready to buy.

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Here are some photos he sent me.



The stamped brick is 9 x 6 x 2 1/2. Is that good enough.

Re: Super Excited to start new project

I need HELP guys, can you guys tell me if these are any good? he is asking 0.85 cents each brick. FIRE BRICK All Sizes Take one or All. Will these work. They are almost square, and there are other shapes too. He said they are not brick sized. The size 8 1/2 x 8 1/2 x 3 1/2"

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Little Update: Yesterday i picked up over 600 used bricks that were removed from a 1930 fireplace & outdoor/patio chimney.

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Thanks for the info guys. I do plan on getting them from McGill's as they are very close to me, so that's good.

Re: Super Excited to start new project

A bit late in answering, but McGill's usually has good prices on blanket. I don't know about the board. I get my board locally from a ceramic supply house. You might look up the same in your area.

Re: Super Excited to start new project

Any vermiculite that you buy new will have NO asbestos. Many years ago ONE mine was contaminated with asbestos, but it has not been in production for 20+ years. If you do work on your home and it is dated before 1985, then there is a very slight chance that any vermiculite you find may have a miniscule amount of asbestos, but unless you plan on using it to build a nest and sleep in it for the rest of your life you will be fine.
