Yes it means softbrick and yes you probably could use
your hard brick but it would take you longer. You may
try to get a hold of Bill Gossman--New London Art
Center (Minnesota) should be able to find him for you.
Or try New London, Minnesota directory. He built a
woodfired raku kiln. Pretty knowledgeable guy, more
than most of us put together.

Dear Marge,
I used hard brick for my wood burning kiln. It is mentioned in Steve
Branfman's new raku book.
I also used a fiber lined barrel for the firing chamber.
The hard brick for the fire box area.
