    The Vent-Free Gas Firebox is a modular refractory masonry unit designed for field assembly. The unit consists of inter- locking precast parts, which are glued together using Earthcore Mortar supplied with the unit. The parts of the system are cast using a proprietary mixture of volcanic pumice aggregate and aluminate cement. Each piece is intended for a specific part of the enclosure and is designed such that only one means of assembly is possible.
