As to:
"I used a bunch of them in my old forge, "sided" the interior wall with
them as a shield from the heat and sparks."

Be careful with that; the shingles are "asbestos containing" and not all
asbestos. I think 10 to 20% asbestos was normal - but not sure. They are
usually pretty much fire resistant if not fireproof due to the overall
composition. There are different types of asbestos but most are of the
crumbly type and wouldn't make good siding.
