It was large item week in my home town. Liberty, Mo. I had set alot of crap out onthe curb, then the wife ask if I was going schrounging? No I have to much inventory now. (Refering to all the junk behind the garage.) My son came over and he was looking at some of the stuff the neighbor's set out in their yard. I told him not to drag anything over. When he did come over, I ask him if there was anything good over there? He said there were a bunch of whitsh burnt bricks. I went over and sure enough about 50 or 60 used fire brick, all in good shape. Yep I got the dolly and shuffeled them home. They came in handy used some, traded some, still have some.

I use fire brick to create a hood on my coal forge, with a piece flat metal on top. I have my forge outside in a fenced in area, and the fence is old wood and the fire brick is just to keep the heat off it. I should build a metal hood, but the bricks were free, and for now they work. So far all I have made is allot of noise and smoke. I did learn how to control the smoke.
