[TheForge] Re: Bricks- Light vs heavy

[Ron Childers]

Which loses heat the fastest?


All the insulating bricks I bought and used cracked and are now in
chunks... I thought it was just because I bought the cheap ones. I
didn't realize all insulating bricks had that problem. 

Well, I think I'd still recommend using the light-weight "insulating"
bricks... but I think it's better to always use a hard lining over them,
like kiln shelf or castable refractory.
