Tiling round a wood burning stove

[Huge]

Still working round the problems installing a wood burning stove.

We'd like to tile the interior of the fireplace behind & to the sides of it. What should I stick the tiles on with?

[The Natural Philosopher]

ordinary tile cement should be OK, but if you are paranoid use sand and cement.

[Tim Watts]

You'd probably be OK with a cement based tile adhesive (mixed from powder) - not a ready mixed tub type.

[Dave Liquorice]

The key is probably not lighting the stove for a week or three after the tiles have been applied so the adhesive has a chance to dry out slowly and isn't "cooked" until it has mostly dried.

The steel case of my wood burner reaches 4-500 deg.F or more if I forget to shut down the air feed!
