Hi All,
If these bricks can't be allowed to cool down, maybe some glass blowers =20=
would be interested, I understand their furnaces aren't allowed to cool =20=
down either. OR, they will make great brick paths for a garden or yard. =20=
I've got some old ones I use for a path and the moon light reflection =20=
makes it easy to see on a dark nite. Mike Gordon

Dear Mike Gordon,
Using relict bricks as pathway metal seems to be the best fate for
these Coke Oven Bricks.
If they have crashed through the Quartz beta-alpha phase change the
damage is done. So they would offer no advantage to a glass worker.
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis.

Can anyone give me an idea of how many bricks I will need to build a
wood fired kiln of about 40 Cubic feet?? I have a source of free hard
fire bricks and they need to know how many pallets I will need?

Hi Linda,
Free bricks? What a great deal.
I can't know exactly, but if it were me, I'd ask for four pallets,
assuming there are about 450 bricks on a pallet. That sounds like
quite a few, but the chimney and floor of the kiln will use a lot of
brick. And since they are free, why not get five or six pallets? It's
nice to have plenty of brick.
Best,

hi Linda....Hard bricks for building a kiln aren't really free, unless
you're going to build a salt//soda kiln or maybe a wood kiln. You will have
a dramatically increased fuel cost if you build the entire kiln of hard
brick...or the cost of lining it with fiber of some sort. If you fire
regularly, the fuel cost alone would soon eat up the brick cost.
I'm just suggesting running some numbers before you haul this brick home.

We are building a wood fred kiln. I also have a lot of soft fire
brick that we can use to insulate the arch and some castable refractory.

What size of brick are you going to use. A 3"x9" brick is 27 square inches
if you are using that or any other size figure the area of the interior
walls of the kiln and divide by 27 or whatever aarea of the size of brick
you choose then add a half a pallet xtra.

Linda,
I built a similar wood kiln - 55 cubic feet, about 3 years ago. I think
there were about 3000 bricks in it by the time I was done - chimney and
door included. I would always figure on getting a good deal more than you
need though. Extras can be used as posts or for repairs, and it really
isn't any fun to run out of bricks in building and have to find more.
Might as well ship them all at once rather than paying for a second truck
to come.
