Hay Crew,
I got ahold of the guy selling the million brick and he sent me photos.
I can fwd. them to you O.L. and we can go from there. I still haven't
figured out how to make a link for such things to Clayart's 'puter so
bear with me. For some reason only one of the attachments came good on
my outfit but that could be cause it's an antique. The look of them
isn't too bad. If they are the high silica might they be usable for a
second outer layer of refactory where structual integrity is less of an
issue, depending on the shape of the chamber?
50 cent is to much for me to haul all the way to the U.P. when I still
have brick in storage only 484 miles "down there". Besides I'm getting
too antsy and need to get something on the ground to better visualize
what the catinary arch kiln after the main chamber will look like. So I
made the commitment and ordered a pallet of fire brick from Asley via.
Miller Supply in Iron Mountain.
