Fire Brick - Where to buy

[bryankloos]

Hey All,

Time to start thinking about bricking the Mason 2x4 XL.
Where is the best place to buy fire brick?
I'm in CT.
All help is appreciated.
Best,
Bryan

In my area I found fire brick far cheaper at a cement, and block yard, the type where a mason would go. Retail stores mark them up far too much and maple suppliers are the highest. That being said, I found the best price for ready mixed refractory cement at maple dealers. This experience is from about 15 years ago, have not needed any since.

As maple flats stated, best price I have found is from a brick/stone yard. They will have full and splits.

just picked up both full and half bricks yesterday at our local cement and brick yard Gagnon and Sons payed 1.63 for full bricks and Lowes wanted over 3.00 dollar's a piece

Im in Weston... Gault stone is in Westport. Probably a long haul from you.

I just called O&G Earth Products Showcase and Mason Supply Store They have them for $1.50 for 8 3/4" and $1.75 for the 9"

Hey Bryan,

Yes, Weston / Westbrook is a haul. O&G Showcase & Mason Supply is under an hour.

Thanks for the tip!
