grog in earthenware bodies

I have a bag of grog purchased by one of my local clay suppliers and I am
assuming that it is a stoneware grog of some kind. For those of you who
make small ware with earthenware, do you have grog in your clay body? If I
do some earthenware clay body tests and use grog for possible larger work,
what kind of problems might I expect with my stoneware grog? I will be
checking out brick grog as well, which has shown up in some of my collected
study materials on earthenware bodies.

When will I have time to do this testing? Who knows.

As long as it's not red grog, you can use it in anything. Commercial clay=

suppliers use the same grog in all their bodies, unless they are using a =

in terra cotta. But most don't even do that.
