canadian source for fire brick

[Joe H.]

ok, so i have not been very diligent with my knife making. i have a half dozen knives started, but none to the HT point yet.
partly because i dont yet have a way to HT. i was going to try in a campfire, but that takes a long time to get that hot.

so now i want to make a forge. just a small one though.
im thinking something like this http://www.jamesriser.com/Machinery/...paneForge.html

does any one know a canadian source for fire bricks like those?
or alteratly a source for the fireproof liner for a coffee can forge.

thanks,
Joe

There must be some woodstove suppliers in your area. Id check one of them out.

Check around for a ceramics store or a kiln supplier. Annother good source is a ferrier or blacksmith supply. You want soft firebrick the brick in woodstoves is not soft and not a good insulator. Allso unless you have a masonary saw you cannot cut it.

Try these guys. I bought all my fire brick from them. They are really good to work with and if you are building a kiln they can help big time.

thanks for the help guys.

i gues once i have a couple of those bricks, i just holow one out and make a hole for the propane torch. is there any thing more to it than that? (other than makeing a bigger one)
also, im pretty sure a normal propane torch will be enough heat. but if it isnt, let me know.
thanks,
Joe
