INSTALLING FIREBRICK:
Line the inside walls of your re pit with rebrick. You can install the rebrick as you
assemble to the re pit or afterward. Use only refractory mortar to adhere the rebrick.
Firebricks should be set like a veneer by applying mortar to the back of the brick, adhere to
the wall and remove excess mortar with a trowel. Joints between bricks should be between
1-3 mm, and lled with refractory mortar. For more technical information on refractory
mortar please refer to the manufactures specications sheet included with these instructions.
Once you’re nished with the assembly of your new re pit, place 6” of sand to the
inside of your re pit for logs and hot coals to sit safely on.
A solid foundation for your Bench is necessary to prevent settling and tiling of your project.
We recommend a leveling pad, unless local building code requires you to have a concrete
foundation.
TIPS ON BUILDING LEVELING PADS:
* First remove organic top soil
* Create a leva nes (GW as per ASTM D248).
* Leveling pad should be a minimum of 6 to 8 inches thick. For leveling pads greater than
8” thick, the ll shall be placed in multiple lifts. Each layer or lift of ll material shall be
leveled and compacted to a 95% Standard Proctor density.
* If a concrete slab is required, prepare a leveling pad using the same procedures listed
above. The concrete shall have a minimum compressive strength of 2500 psi. A 4-inch
thick leveling slab should be more than sufcient. Thickened edged and reinforcement of
the leveling slabs maybe be required, please consult a professional engineer for specic
requirements.
