Unhappy Lime for home made ref mortar

I am looking to make my own Refractory mortar using the FB recipe (1,3,1,1).
I was assuming that the lime would be a powder, like portland cement, but all I can find is pellets? Is that what I am supposed to use?
I had a pail of Heat Stop, which was nice to work with but a bit pricey considering how dang much of it I will be using.

Alternatively my local refractory dealer (industrial firebrick) sells a refactory cement called Sparcast 30L which is a 3,000°f conventional castable cement. Seems like overkill to me for a pizza oven...


Thanks!
DAN
