Is it affecting the food at all?...sounds like spalling...result of the heating and cooling cycles on brick...maybe a little bigger brick in your case...I don't know that the refmix would help the situation though

If you have joints that have shrunk I might suggest filling them or pointing them...you can mix some mortar very stiff and using a shortened pointing trowel(it is very thin about 1/4" wide and 12-16" long) squeeze the mortar into the joint. You should cut off part of the end of the trowel to make it easier to use in the oven. Another option is...I don't know if they have them in Switzerland but here in the US it is called a grout bag...basically a piping bag like one would use to decorate a cake...except you will use it to squeeze mortar into the joint...just the opposite here on the mortar consistency...quite loose...in both cases finish the joint(by rubbing it with a finishing tool or wooden dowel) until it shines.
And you probably would have to recure slightly depending on what type of mortar and method you use.
Hope this helps
