You bought 600 firebrick?

Yes, I got the whole pallet. I know I will use about 450 and the rest I plan to do something else that comes in mind. Right now I am thinking about a smoker. Not sure.

Re: Work of Love and Passion... Miami FL

Low duty is what you want for the floor, in the range of 20-30% Alumina. You can use low or medium or even high duty for the dome, but the low or medium are best.

Ok, I am not a chemist, so Here is the information for my firebrick that I got from the manufacture. Does anyone understand this information? Its like Chinese to me. Please let me know if you understand any of this.

Skyline sells many of the wrong kind of firebricks for this application, but I am not sure if they sell low duty ones, but I doubt it.

Thanks Tscarborough, but I already bought the bricks, is there any way I can find out what they are? or no other way? I am stuck with it? Can I run some type of test?

I bought my fiber tape at skylinecomponents.com and you may find the brick at larkinrefractory.com

Thanks for this information NCMan, This is just what I needed. I have a question for all Members. As you can see on this link Firebricks there many different type of firebricks you can purchase. How do I know I have to correct ones? I just got 600 firebricks and I need to make 100% they are the correct ones. Is there a type of test I can do on the firebricks to make sure they are correct? Kindly let me know. I look forward to everyone's reply.

Hello Gugahulk

Were you looking for the insulating brick for insulation or the hearth and Barrel.
If it is for the hearth and barrel you need Fire Bricks not insulating bricks.

David

Here is a picture showing firebricks and insulated bricks. What it does is stop the heat getting to the front of the oven bricks. It basically stops heat from leaving the valt. See below.

Good Day1

If you looking for Fire Bricks, try Cemex! I live in Orlando and bought mine from there. You can call the one below and ask if they carry them or ask which Cemex plant does. Good Luck!

Sorry, but I'm not to sure where to find the Ceramic tape. If you trying to find something to hold the Ceramic Fiber blanket together, most people on the forum use chicken wire over the blanket and dome. Good Luck!
