Unfortunately they will likely be more expensive...at least they are here...for us they end up to be about twice as much for the "splits"

after much reading on the net I have found that i can use dry pressed clay bricks. because it will not be subject to the same intens heat that a pizza oven is you can use the pressed clays instead of firebricks, this is what all older fireplaces are made from.

ordering a bunch of them tomorrow and then next weekend construction of the fireplace begins

If it does crack or spall, you can always get the cast-iron fireback later.
