if you can, locate an old washer machine, take out the center drum, cut the center stack out and then stack bricks around it. I usually use the 1/4 face wall stones. built a couple like this, cheap easy and effective.

Fire Brick = Clay? Regular Brick = Concrete? [/quote yes. and to answer the original question, yes, regular bricks can explode if under intense heat. you should use a fire brick for the direct contact. the likely hood of the brick actually exploding, highly unlikely, the heat that the fire puts out is probably not enough to cause the regular brick to break down, but there is a chance |

I have 16 large cement blocks surrounding me in my backyard. Souns like I'd be safer lighting off the rest of my fireworks sitting on my propane tank:)
