 Fire brick mortar Hi, I am looking for some help with the thicness to apply the mortar between firebricks, the guidelines indicate 1/8" maximum, but It will need to be thicker towards the outside of the dome where the bricks splay out. Is it okay to use a thicker joint here. I would welcome any help Carleton  |

| Re: Fire brick mortar Yes you can use a wider joint at the outside, you will need to unless you go crazy with cutting and fitting. What mortar are you using?

| Re: Fire brick mortar From the Victas site: Victas heat proof mortar is suitable for all kinds of INTERIOR use, but must not to be used outdoors. This looks like a premixed air-set product. Some people have used this successfully, but it will remain water soluble. Better to get a dry refractory product if possible...

| Re: Fire brick mortar I will look for a dry refractory product as suggested, not easy to find in the Uk so far, Vitcas assured me it would be okay as long as it was weatherproofed. This is a great site, really helpfull. Carleton |

| Re: Fire brick mortar I'm with Drake on this. It's very difficult keeping an outdoor oven dry -- no matter how hard you try to weatherproof it. The issue is that the binder that holds the mortar together comes apart when it gets wet. Not good. James

| Re: Fire brick mortar Doesn't burning the wood and baking produce water vapor. Is it enough to damage the air dry mortar or are things too hot in there? Mark |

| Re: Fire brick mortar It's the rain, fog and mist. The mortar can't ever be exposed to water. James
