I'm seeking information on Lincoln Fire clay.

Can anyone West of the Mississippi please share information on a fire
clay called
( Lincoln 60 Fire clay )?

I'm testing and looking for a clay body with (Lincoln 60 fire clay) as
the main
clay in the stoneware body. I hope to develop this clay body to fire in
the
^9-11 reduction range, and work in salt/soda/wood too.

Here is the clay body that I'm now testing.

Any ideas greatly appreciated.
