Another road trip for new super duty high fire brick

Another drive for replacement bricks, this time to a brick plant in Grayson, KY. Thank you Mathew G for the contact. Extremely reasonable bricks, new with minor cosmetic flaws (jeez...I don't think the pots will be offended...heehee). Picked up 250 of them to repair/replace my melted ones.

But, the best was getting to check out the massive round kilns! Too cool and he let me take pics so I can show you guys. Now those are real kilns!!!

Me for scale. :)

And those are some massive burners!

Looking up at the ceiling.

These kilns are no longer in use as they have moved to tunnel kilns but he said their other plant still uses a couple of their round ones. Neat.

Well, loaded down heavy with these bricks so driving back to SC and hopefully finding good BBQ on the way.
