Forgive me if this appears twice, but I haven't seen my first attempt to
post this.

Does anyone out there have any practical experience using the BNZ 2600
degree bricks where you've used them to built a flat top? I want to use
them to span the top of my train kiln by drilling through them, then
putting a rod through, then "clamping" together. I've read that the Thermal
Ceramics K26s can be used but haven't seen anything on the bricks from BNZ.
If you have used these bricks, do you think they are more/less crumbly than
the Thermal Ceramics K26s?

Thanks,

Nettie
