FIREBOX REPAIR

The firebox of your fireplace is where all the action is, holding an open flame and coals that can easily exceed 1000 degrees. Obviously, any loose or cracked bricks need to be replaced right away. Mortar joints that are eroded back more than 1/2 inch will also need to be repaired with refractory mortar. Or, perhaps its time for fireplace insert.

Fireboxes are built to handle a roaring fire, but even they are not indestructible.
