Bricks for the Egg

Hope this question doesn't seem too ridiculous, but is there a specific type of brick I should get to raise my grid for raised cooks? Do certain types fare better under high temps or will any old clay brick from Home Depot do?

i use firebricks leftover from a fireplace build.

Firebricks. I bought mine at a local supply store. Each one was about $2.00.

Pretty sure that other than fire bricks would not survive long under the extreme temperature swings. All fire bricks I have seen are white to yellow in color.

Landscaper supply stores have split and full fire bricks. Usually $1-2 each. With a few of each and a weber grate, you can do just about any indirect or raised cook. That said, the stuff from CGS just makes it all easier.

I use terra cotta feet that Lowes/Home Depot have for terra cotta pots. Works great for me.

I use 96 cent pavers from Home Depot. Figured if they cracked and broke would not be expensive to replace. They are still going strong - year +

I've been using cheap cement pavers forever, even with pizza and never had one break.

Fire bricks from Lowes. Less than $2 each. I'll also heat them up and put in the bottom of a cooler when FTC is going to be over 3 hrs.

I use some leftover paver stones. Have had them in with temps in excess of 700* without any problem.
