Thinking about building an outdoor woodstove. One componet, I was thinking, was lining the inside of the fire box with bricks.... but why should I use "fire" brick? What differs fire brick and std. brick? Thanks. Hound

Hi Hound,

Fire brick is made from a very fine clay particles, much like clay for greenware. You can also get fire clay at a building center that comes powdered thats useful for covering steel or mortar for bricks or the grating.

I use fire bricks for making a protable kiln when I need one. I bought mine at the brickyard as they were much cheaper than the home centers.

If you install the bricks too far above the fire box area sides then you won't get very much heat transfer thru the exchanger walls and will waste alot of heat up the flue.

Also by lining bottom and sides of stove with only fire brick it will last for years before burning holes thru it and if you put a jacket around stove you also can blow hot air into home . great and cheap heat for any space

Firebrick is made of a heat-resistant clay called fire clay.

I would assume regular brick would tend to crack and crumble from the heat long before firebrick would.
