I Forge Iron

Common red brick will melt but more importantly is they will spall if not dried very slowly, and will absorb moisture between uses, go to a fireplace/woodstove store and just buy firebrick to use where there will be direct heat.

Interesting, I have never seen any other kind of brick in a fire place other than the typical red. I was actually thinking of using the brick between the fire pot and a wood stand that I was considering making for my drum brake forge, but I was curious if red brick would work on its own. I guess that rules out that idea.

Thanks all for the replies :).
