Does forge "brazing" make any sense for your purposes?...

danpat, can't advise directly but I do know it can be done (even a caveman can do it???)
check out jason@mactallis' topic posted jan12/12 by titled "Ore for smelting" --> http://www.iforgeiro...e-for-smelting/ I definitely see a "common thread"
OR
google "smelting iron ore" and evolve your search from there
much luck,
Robert

Making Insulated clay firebricks: http://www.bioenergylists.org/stovesdoc/Still/VC%20Stove/vcstove.html These bricks even look and weigh like the ones we buy from ceramic houses. Excellent read with several batch designs (but they are not specific about quantities or ingredients) wouldn't be any fun if we didn't have to experiment. These bricks are fired at 1000C but there is no discussion on their maximum rating because they are intended for use in third-world cooking stoves to conserve fuel. Holds some promise if we find the right clay for casting/firing as we know that industry uses sawdust to manufacture the production bricks we buy today...
