So check it out, these blocks are precast from an alumina and silicon carbide castable which includes stainless steel fibers. Complete overkill for the chimney, but it is the material with which I had to work. I still have tons of these too. I'm thinking of building another kiln using them for the bulk of the construction. They are, however, very, very, very heavy. The blocks were originally designed to be installed in the cooling chamber of a lime kiln. They are called "cooler tiles" which makes them sound kind of breezy and quaint. Let me tell you, they are neither breezy nor quaint.
