DaddyManky Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Hi, I need to line an asador-style bbq with fire bricks. Total area is approx 2.6 sq. metres. Normal firebricks come up quite expensive - does anyone have a suggestion for a cheaper alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaddyManky Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Yes. I may well do that for the back and sides, but would like something tile-like on the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 Sandstone, soapstone can be used also reclaimed old red clay bricks fire resistant boards also exist you just need to be aware of what you use and be satisfied that it will be sufficiently robust for the purpose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyManky Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 Old fashioned Quarry floor tiles are cheap. Does anyone think these would be suitable? https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/catalog/product/view/id/22726/s/quarry-red-tiles-plain-smooth-quarry-tiles/category/14814/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
