Last year I decided to make a fire pit in the back yard (First one, so I was bound to run into a problem or two.) and it's been pretty great so far.
The one problem I've run into is the cement I used, to hold the bricks together and the structure in place, seems to be cracking and flaking because of the heat.
My question is: What type of cement or bonding stuff should I use that will hold the bricks together and not breakdown from the extreme heat?
Ideally I would like to be able to coat the inside of the fire pit with this 'fireproof' cement rather than starting all over again.
Here are a few pictures to give you an idea of the problem.
TIA
