Site Selection
When choosing a location for your fireplace stove, consider the following factors:
- Safety: Ensure the stove is placed at a safe distance from flammable materials and has proper ventilation.
- Function: Consider the stove’s primary purpose, whether for heating, cooking, or ambiance.
- Aesthetics: Choose a location that complements the overall design of your space.
Materials
The primary materials for fireplace stove masonry include:
- Firebricks: These high-temperature bricks form the inner lining of the firebox and withstand intense heat.
- Mortar: A mixture of cement, sand, and water binds the bricks together.
- Insulation: Non-combustible insulation materials, such as mineral wool or fireproof boards, are used to prevent heat transfer to surrounding structures.
- Flue liner: A ceramic or metal liner protects the chimney from heat and corrosive gases.
Dry Mixes and Mortar
Dry mixes for fireplace and barbecue masonry offer convenience and ease of use. They typically contain a pre-measured blend of cement, sand, and additives. Simply add water and mix according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
