It's in the 30's today in Northern Ohio and I want to repoint the mortar at
the top of my firebox (natural fireplace) where the damper frame meets the
fire brick. My concern is the temperature; it's pretty cold inside there. I
made a strofoam air block that works like a charm so the hearth isn't really
exposed to the room air. The fireplace is also below ground level so that
first three feet of dirt outside which is probably colder than hell is right
against my fireplace chimney transferring that cold to the firebrick and
into the hearth. Will this type of weather affect the ability of the mortar
to set up properly?
