The front rack I made used around 40cm of 1.5mm dia. brazing rod including filling the slots for the bends if that helps with estimating costs etc.

Looks very tidy! Is that powdercoated? I was going to weatherproof mine in as cheap a way as possible, which might be Hammerite. Even cheaper would be not using it in the wet.
Re. the fire bricks - did you find that made an appreciable difference? Some internet sources recommend them but it's difficult to know if I will because there are the variables of torch/gas/size or workpiece/melting point of filler to consider.
I think MAPP (technically now MAP Pro) is hotter than propane but could be wrong.
How much time did you spend cleaning the steel before fluxing? And how far around the joints did you paint the flux on?

Cheers - do you have a preferred source for the rods? Johnson Matthey say it's not a good filler metal but maybe you mean 302?
I've no idea how many rods I'll go through, including the ones I'll need to practice.
1? 2? 10?
