Best Answer

A fire brick, or refractory brick, is a block of ceramic material that can withstand high temperatures and is used to line furnaces, kilns, fireboxes, and fireplaces. For example, they use it to surround pipes, conduits, etc. in walls as fire breaks. Hard fire bricks are used on the inside of things like kilns because they absorb and conduct heat easily, which allows for the high temperatures needed in cooking and firing. Soft, or insulating, fire bricks are used on the outside of kilns because their very low thermal conductivity allows them to insulate and keep the heat inside the kiln. Singular insulating fire bricks can also be used as a base for small scale soldering and precious metal clay firing with hand-held soldering irons and blowtorches. In this case, the soft fire brick protects the hard surface beneath it from damage.
