Thank guys,<br />
I've got a hearth to build at my house, a rather large 7'x7' platform. But a potential paying project enclosing a exterior chimney pipe. Just wanted to make sure I've got my head on straight before I go selling the job!<br />
<br />
Jeff- think I showed u a pic of the stove a while back, I only think about it when my wife brings it up at 9pm when I'm ready to collapse! :)<br />
<br />
Don- that's why I didn't bring it up during the day!<br />
<br />
Nelson- thanks, good luck with your project, hope to see…

<p>LOL, you could have asked this one earlier today when you placed the order! </p>

<p>Ryan, not quite sure either about the specifics of your work, but regarding heat resistance, coincidentally that`s what I`m doing right now, the use of firebricks, and a refractory mortar in both cases yours and mine, is the way to go about this. looking into topic, I`ve learnt that a mix of these proportions would be heat resistant:</p>
<p>1.5 parts portland cement</p>
<p>2 parts silica sand</p>
<p>1.5 parts perlite</p>
<p>2 parts fire clay</p>

<p>Thus what Don states above, which somehow corresponds with engredients of carving mix. Do not fire the work right after finishing. Let a week pass by, then start little fires with, newspapers, for a few days, before you give it the real hot fire, just to set the materials gradually, you know.</p> Ryan.

Hey ryan, I believe the limestone in concrete gets hot and cracks, pops, and crac2ks the concrete. Most vert mixes dont have limestone agg in it. High heat can effect any type of concrete adversly. Hope everything is good with ya.
