i wasn't sure about the bricks, i looked around online and didn't find much other then they might be magnesite. i know a few of them have a glassy look but they are eaten into a little seams like the stuff is near bullet proof, i figured they would be great for a forge that does a lot of forge welding, maybe cutting them down to like an inch thick and line a forge. i have a small propane forge but i want to use something i built. thoughts?
also my little forge is in my garage so a solid fuel forge was out, im looking to build a small shop to move it but for now i have to stick to propane. also while i haven't done a lot of digging but i didn't found a lot of suppliers of solid fuel around here.
i live in the USA in east Tennessee

so i was hunting at a scrapyard and i found a huge kiln or forge not sure what, it had a lot of tungsten rods broken inside. the entire thing was almost as big as my truck. so i pulled what bricks i could out of it. most in it were crushed or broken but i pulled 8 of the ones below. they are heavy as xxxx about 20-25 pounds each. i was thinking of making a forge with them? what type of brick is it and would this be a good idea?
thanks
