I want to cook ribs tonight. I read on this site of indirect cooking with fire bricks. I bought my BGE at Cherokee Hearth and they did not carry fire bricks and did not seem to understand why I wanted them. I bought regular size fire bricks from Maner Builders but the bricks are 4x9x2 and they said too hard to cut thiner. Noticed on site the thickness of 1/1/4 bricks were used. Is there any place I should look for proper size? Thanks for any suggestions or help.

What you want to look for is called "Split" firebrick..they are half the thickness of normal firebrick, got mine at a brickyard locally.[p]Wess
Also Lowes carries the Canadian version called FlameBrick.
thinner at 1/2"..so not a stable platform edgeways, but would give a good base for a drip pan or indirect set up.
Nice also for the Mini for size.. 3 1/2 x 7 3/8".[p]Stack em for thickness desired.

Mine are from Home Depot; about a buck each. They're under ribs as I type.
Good luck,

GBE ?
Saw some of the half style at my local Home Depot the other day.

You just have to jury rig it to the cook, as with all the bge sizes. BTW..I have yet to do this but I betcha one could epoxy two into a T formation for a rack leg set up for pizza stones etc.

I asked my son in law to get me some and he brought home the large(think) ones like you have. I compalined and he simply went to his truck, came back with a cicular(Skill) saw and carbide blade and cut them in half. Work great, in fact they are under three slabs of ribs as I write this.[p]Just cut them in two. Good luck![p]Wareagle
