Our furnace lining went from lasting 6 weeks to over 4 months after we switched suppliers
We used to get our refractory bricks from the local place in Gary. They'd crack and crumble after maybe 40 heats, tops. About a year ago, the foreman switched us to a brand called 'Therma-Shield' from a supplier in Ohio. The difference is night and day. We're pushing 150 heats on the same lining now with minimal wear. Anyone else have a go-to brick brand that actually holds up?

Wow, that's a huge jump in performance! Makes you wonder what the old supplier was even selling.

You ever get the feeling they were just selling us fancy sand? My old gym's gear felt like that sometimes lol

Heard the cheap stuff sometimes has way more impurities. Was your old supplier maybe cutting corners on the silica content?
