    I preassembled it on the floor which helped a lot!!

    I used Hardie Backer as my substrate

    I put it on with thin set porcelain mortar with polymer

    Thanks! I can't take credit for the tile though, it was already there

    I laid mine out on the floor too. It was like putting a big puzzle together.

    Dry stacking was a little harder than I thought it would be but overall I'm happy with how it turned out.

    Looks like you used a face stone. When I first saw your pics, I wondered that. I did similar with brick. Since doing that I've wondered whether a full field stone would have provided for better heat retention. Every little bit helps.

    By the way, it looks great. Thanks for sharing.

    Outstanding!
    Wonder if the stones will act like a heat sink for you.

    They are technically concrete so I'm sure they will hold a little heat :fire:
