Default Re: Firebrick suitable for pizza ovens

Welcome. We get so many questions about firebrick. We are glad to have an active member who is a firebrick manufacturer. Low duty firebrick, of the ordinary fireplace variety is what we recommend for oven building.

It's good to have someone here who knows what he's talking about. Interest in brick ovens is increasing, and it could become more than a niche market for firebrick makers.

I've often thought that a firebrick manufacturer could do a pallet loaded kit for brick ovens: the 150 firebricks, two bags of refractory mortar, some insulation sheet, and bags of vermiculite: The oven necessities that you can't get at home centers. You could have it trucked to any freight depot in the country, indeed to other countries like the UK where these supplies are exorbitantly overpriced.

Thanks for being here. Hope you stick around. Maybe you should build a pompeii oven in your backyard, to get a feel for what we're doing in the forum.
