Hey there, fellow ClayArters:

I have come upon a great source for used firebrick (mostly HB, some IFB). Below
a list of the markings on the HB that are available. Can anyone help me identif
the characteristics of the following (e.g. duty level, iron content, alumina
content, etc.)? Some of them I know well. Some I have never heard of. However
any and all information would be helpful. Thanks, -Bill Buckner
