    Hey Russ, no i decided that they were not suitable for me. I got Muddox bricks that are 27% Alumina, i think that would work better for me. I just picked them up this afternoon, ill update my thread.

    It seems like i should get one of those MK blades, would one blade get me thru 250 bricks? or should i get two blades.

    You are just reinforcing an old stereotype with that suggestion.

    Thanks V,
    A major brain infarction on my part. Without insulation your effort is a waste of your precious time and money. Thank god for the active and informative mines on the forum. Remember, there are more than one way to skin a cat! But what do you do with a skinned cat? Cover it in rosemary and red wine and bake it in your over and offer it to the neighbors that complains of a little smoke, that will bring them around and you will have a devious secret. hehehehhehehheheheheh

    In Australia the bricklayers clay that is sold for that purpose is not fireclay. It only contains around 10% alumina. A true fireclay as supplied by a refractory supplier is high in alumina and designed for high temperature use, and way more expensive than the cheap bricklayers clay. However, because we only fire to around 500C probably any powdered clay should be OK.
