Hi Folks

I have decided in relation to an earlier thread of mine to go with Firebricks for my new Fire as opposed to a fireback. I was just wondering if anyone used Firebricks before? But most importantly what did you use to bind them, the strength of the mix one eprson said was ratio 1 part cement to one part fireclay, is this the right. If anyone has indepth knowledge of this area please PM as I want to get this mix spot on. There is other bits I need to pick someones brain as well like size of joints between the bricks etc, if someone coud pm on this that would be great.

Thanks in Advance

I think fire cement would not be as good as the fireclay, any other thoughts or knowledge folks?
