Questions & Answers
These bricks are extremely fragile and easily break.
This is the first time I've heard of it being used as an Ant formicarium. I don't think this is what you're looking for.
It depends on the pack you choose; there are single, two-, and three-packs available. pack, 4- a 12-pack, and sizes of the packs
Inhaling any dust created by insulating firebricks (or any other brick) is hazardous to one's health. This usually happens during the brick fabrication process (cutting, sanding, shaping, and so on). As a result, they must be kept away from food in general. They are completely harmless if no dust is produced. So, if they're below the briquets, it's a relatively safe application for a BBQ. I wouldn't microwave them with food at the same time - I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, to be honest. For outdoor use, all soft insulating firebricks absorb water, so if they get wet, dry, hot, or freeze repeatedly, they will crack. If they do get wet, make sure they are dry as soon as possible. To prevent the water from turning to steam, gradually heat them up to dry them (below 200°F). br>br>That's all there is to it - Dust production should be minimized. Keep them dry as much as possible.

I'm already sick from cancer, and I don't need any more carcinogens! WARNING: WHEN ORDERING PRODUCTS ON AMAZON, BE CAREFUL!.
I ordered a 12-pack (3000F) and they arrived in excellent condition. The box was not from Amazon, but from Lynn Manufacturing (the manufacturer). In regards to the cancer warning: br>br> DUH. There isn't a single refractory firebrick or insulation of any kind in ANY high-rise building. There is no risk of silicosis with this temperature rating. Even if you buy "biosoluble" kaolin-based bricks, if they're fired (and rated) above 2100°F, amorphous silica can transform into cristobalite crystals. based insulation and fire it to that high of a temperature *on your own * If you are unable to accept that small risk, please refrain from engaging in any high-risk behavior. temperature ( There's no thermally-safe activity you're doing at 2100°F because there aren't any. a completely biodegradable and safe insulating material It's perfectly safe to inhale. As one reviewer put it, "just don't breathe the dust," and "treat it like fiberglass insulation," which is also a respiratory cancer risk. " [. . . if you read the California Prop 65 cancer warnings, you'll notice that EVERYTHING contains "substances known to the state of California to cause cancer" — even seemingly harmless materials like stainless steel and pure organic coffee. Despite the fact that coffee has been shown to be a cancer preventative, anything can cause cancer in a lab rat force-field. It was fed a substance in quantities many times its body weight. But I'm getting ahead of myself. ]br>br>However, I'm getting ahead of myself. Simply be reasonable and responsible when it comes to material-related decisions. Take care of things and relax. You're fine, and this is a high-quality product at a reasonable price. (I can only speak to the integrity of the higher-priced items. ) There are no broken or chipped bricks in the box of dense 3000F bricks that I ordered.
This isn't a complaint because it was exactly as described. The 2300f brick is extremely light, porous, and slightly soft. It's dusty, and there are health warnings about inhaling the silica-containing dust. It's well-protected with bubble wrap and plastic, and it's well-labeled. For my purposes, I probably should have ordered the 3000F brick, as I believe I'd prefer something more dense and durable, but they also sell those, so the choice was entirely mine. Take a look at the chart to see what you'll require. I don't have access to any means of testing the properties, but I have no reason to doubt them. Based on what I know, I'm giving it a five-star rating.
I ordered one and had to return it because it was useless when it arrived. Another one was ordered and arrived in the same condition as the first, so I had to return it as well.
The bottom, sides, and top, as well as the "doors," are all made of hard fire bricks. To keep knives upright, cut slots in a scrap piece of wood. That is what is in the center.
Accept this before you make a purchase. The bubble wrap is mostly intact, but there are a few busted corners and a lot of dust. I was a little concerned about getting everything cleaned up safely after seeing the cancer warning sign about the dust. br>br>Be aware that these bricks are extremely fragile. They will crumble, and the corners will almost certainly break during shipping. Even though my packages were well-wrapped, a few corners were lost. Accept this prior to purchasing them.
For the price, I had expected much higher quality, but the product arrived in perfect condition. I purchased two 2600F bricks. Despite the fact that they were both marketed as "26," they appear to be of different quality. One of the bricks pulverized at one of the corners. They'll be returning. This is a product that I do not recommend.
I only needed two of these bricks, so I bought a couple. Both bricks had broken corners and chips, indicating that they were of low quality. I've previously purchased fire bricks from another manufacturer that were in excellent condition. I don't think it's worth the effort to return because I can still use these low-quality bricks for the purpose I had in mind. These bricks are not something I would recommend to a friend. They were well wrapped when they arrived, so I don't believe they were damaged in transit. Most likely, the person wrapping them was unconcerned about the poor quality of the product they were packaging.
