Hi! I'm thinking about building a simple fire pit, i'll probably use it once every two weeks during winter, is it categorical to use fire-bricks? What's the dangers/problems with using normal ones? I ask because the first ones are very expensive, thank you.

Refractory bricks are designed to be used in high-heat environments. Regular bricks can have small amounts of moisture present inside them, that if heated, could turn to steam causing the brick to explode. It’s unlikely to happen, but it can and does happen. It’s the same reason you don’t build fires on top of concrete slabs or in a concrete paver fire pit without an insert ring. Personally, I’d spend the few extra bucks to have the peace of mind that a brick isn’t going to pop while my family is gathered around enjoying a fire.
