Firebricks, or refractory bricks, are made from ceramic and/ or clay. The substances in their makeup are not radioactive.

Uranium.
What an interesting question. The answer is however complex.It is possible to make small amounts of some radioactive elements or radioactive isotopes of some elements in a laboratory (usually involving a nuclear pile or an accelerator). For instance the element Plutonium is made this way.(Other radioactive elements are produced naturally by the radioactive decay of heavier radioactive elements)However, making a radioactive element or isotope from scratch requires the application of an enormous amount of energy. The place where all elements heavier than the element Iron (Fe - Atomic number 26) are made is in stellar explosions, the death of stars 8 or more times more massive than our Sun, called "supernovas".It is in supernova explosions that the radioactive elements are made.
No. The Curies did not discover uranium. They discovered polonium and radium, of which polonium is more radioactive.

soapstone firebrick, they retain their heat longer.
Yes. The Brochure clearly states that firebrick lining is "Key" to the higher efficiency. Additionally welded steel stoves are subject to warping if you don't utilize firebrick lining.
Brick is my favorite, but the firebox will be made of firebrick, and not ordinary building brick. Some people prefer the appearance of cut stone or field stone, but the firebox will still be firebrick (refractory brick)
Yes, but surely you see it every time you clean out the fire?
a. firebrick b. damper operation c.draft strenght or d. hearth
My research has found the ratio Cement:Hydrated lime:washed sand = 1:1:6
All depends what the clue is, may be Frederick or Firebrick

"Radioactive."
non radioactive element
radioactive decay
Most are made from sheets of steel. The steel is cut, usually by shears, welded together, may have firebrick liner, and painted.
