The bored out piece of brick holding the job is also fire brick - same reason. We are in lock down (again) at the moment and I can't find an Aus supplier that will post small numbers of vermiculite brick because of breakage. Someday everything will revert to normal...............I hope.

Funny how in the UK common vermiculite comes in 1" thick x 4"x 9" yours looks to be 9" x 2" x 3" which is a house building size. We also have a light weight building block for the inside of house cavity walls that you can cut with a hand saw that works nearly as well.
