They’re intended for masonry lining and hearth work in furnaces, wood stoves, barbecues, ceramic kilns and steel-pouring setups. For reliable installation, use appropriate refractory mortar (for example GIRtech Ready Mix or Dry Mix) and moisten contact surfaces before laying; avoid ordinary cement mortars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow hot can these GIRtech fire bricks handle?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese bricks are formulated to tolerate extreme temperatures up to 3200°F (approximately 1760°C).
