most use regular mortar.. but just as a regular brick can't take the heat in the firebox, neither can regular mortar..
you should use a refractory mortar.. or a fireclay mortar.. which is harder to work with as it doesn't set as fast as regular mortar

Thanks Mike.....I would assume that type of mortar could be purchased at a Mason supply house??? Doesn't sound like the kind of thing found at Lowes
