Not all bricks are suited to all applications.
Bicks have many different uses depending on their composition and make up, firing times, clay content or lack of it, etc.
Bricks that are under fired are called Chuffs/Dough Boys.
Bricks that are over fired are usually called Clinkers, (it must be the sound they make as they are usually very brittle?)
Modern bricks are burnt, old bricks were baked.
Older bricks are very very soft when compared to the modern brick.
