Hi Noel,

    I've used several magnesia bricks to the point of extinction & have
    never had one that burned & gave off fumes. The only time any smoke
    or fumes came off any of mine, it was after something was spilled on
    them. Usually what I did then was to remove whatever I was working on
    so there was just a bare brick. Then with the biggest tip I had, I'd
    burn the spot out. The gunk would be gone, but the brick would be
    intact. The brick gets red hot where the torch is being applied. 

Dave
