The mortar I've bought for gas forge use is rated for 3000 F. I'd take
the mortar back.

Hi group.

So I want to build the Gingery Charcoal Foundry. I have been looking
around for fire clay, and I finally found a place that said they carry
the stuff. So I paid for it, and when I went to pick it up, I found
out that what they sold me is fireplace mortar. Will this stuff work
to line the furnace? It says that it will withstand up to 2200 F
which seems okay. Also, do you guys think that I can use this in the
green sand mix?
