Cob: Trouble finding fireclayRyan Zwahr rzwahr at yahoo.comWed May 15 22:49:30 CDT 2002
Hi, Trying to build an earth oven per Kiko Denzer's book and I am having problems finding fireclay (a clay soil alternative that he suggests). I live in Raleigh North Carolina, and I have a small lot and not really anywhere for digging my own clay soil, short of ripping up my grass in my yard, so I was trying to locate fireclay. Nobody around here seems to know what it is or where to buy it. I have tried contacting brickyards, ceramic and pottery supply stores, and the like. Do you have any suggestions on brandnames or other names that it may be called by. I did find some mason's cement, and portland cement at home depot, but I wasn't sure if they were the same thing. Can someone steer me in the right direction? Please be specific with the names of things I can use, since I am a "newbie" at this. Also if anyone has other suggestions as to a material I could use to cob with.... Thanks, Ryan Zwahr rzwahr at yahoo.com
