I need to install a cast iron chimney clean out door into an 8' x 8

For setting a fire or ash door you would normally use a factory mixed refractory cement (fiber reinforced sodium silicate - based fireclay) that would withstand 2000°F + heat. This is the same mortar you would use to set and line the firebricks or repair cracks in a masonry fireplace. It comes as a dry mix or a ready-to-use mix.

Rutland (
