Hi all,
There are 300 odd firebricks for sale on Aussie eBay which are not far up the road from me.
Here is the link:

Fire Bricks pottery kiln or other uses - eBay, Other Building Materials, Building Materials, DIY, Home. (end time 15-Oct-09 11:38:57 AEDST)

Is there any reason why these wouldn't suffice for my upcoming oven build?
Thanks,
Paul

Are you sure they are fire bricks? They look as they have a few red ones in there. Could have come out of a fireplace? If they are solids they may do

[paulyboy]

Well no, I'm not sure at all, though I assume they are, it sounds like they might be out of a kiln or something. Don't know what the red ones are.

You need dense firebricks (heavy) not insulating firebricks (light)

if they are truly firebrick, they will weigh about (7 lbs.) each I think,,,, can anyone weigh a brick for us
