I have a question regarding the brick used in the smoker. Will a regular paving brick work. That's all I could find. The guy at Rona hardware said that concrete things may explode if heated. I feel if it can withstand the intense heat of the sun it should handle the low smoker. Any thoughts?
I seriously doubt that a concrete paver would get hot enough in a Bradley to explode. A fired clay brick is a better heat sink because of the higher density and it's already been through the flames.
It takes upward of 400deg for conventional concrete to explode. I think your fine with a paver.

That's good. I haven't been able to track down clay bricks anywhere is Saskatoon sk. Any ideas?
I don't know what is available near you, but in the states any of the "big box" stores carry bricks. (Menards, Lowes, Home Depot, etc) I just bought two bricks and wrapped them in foil, works great.
All Home Depot had that would be correct size was 4x8 concrete paving blocks unfortunately.
You could check with a local masonry outfit, they would probably be able to fix you up.

you're looking for a fire brick like used in fire places, I found them at Menards here in the states
No need for a fire brick. A common garden variety brick will work just fine.
