I used lava rock to make my brick oven http://pacificgunite.com/wood_fired_lava_brick_oven.htm
Whether you use rocks or fire bricks, you will need to slowly cure a new oven, or kiln, over a weeks time with increasingly hotter temperatures to avoid damage. My oven regularly gets up to 1000 degrees with no problem. I don't see why it couldn't go much hotter when you consider the temperature of lava flows.
