The refractory mortar that joins the firebrick in your firebox is exposed to extreme temperature cycling with every fire in Chinchilla, PA. Over time it cracks at the joints and eventually erodes away, leaving gaps between the firebrick that allow heat and combustion gases to migrate toward the surrounding framing in Chinchilla.
