mine are "red" or reddish and low duty

[slackpat]

To add my two cents worth..... If using Red clay bricks in the oven dome
Tap each one with trowel if they dont make a ping sound, do not use
them as they already have a fault in the brick.

OK, I am an idiot.

What is the best, economical way to cut firebrick used to construct to the oven? I am a masonry newbie.

Also, I would like to have a rectangular opening to the oven, rather than an arch. I was planning on using some sort of metal support. What are your recommendations?

I appreciate all the help I have gotten from this forum thus far.

Cheers & Many Thanks,

Joe
