Fire bricks.....

[WULF]

Is there a use for these by anyone for a forge?
i have 10 of them that came out of a storage heater in an old building we are renovating at work.Size is 12" long x 7" wide x 3" thick and they are heavy.

I these are usefull for knifemaking /forging send me a pm to discuss further.

If this is in the wrong section please move.
thanks

sorry, no use for forges I'm afraid. The fire bricks you have are designed to to store heat, the ones you want for forges/funaces/kilns are designed to reflect it. If you use them for forges then it will take forever to heat up, be inefficient and probably not cope with the temperatures anyway.

The best use for them would be as a base for a clay oven
