The InsBlock 19 is perfectly flat and level so I'm not planning on applying a fireclay paste under the floor bricks (except for one that I put too much weight on and dented the InsBlock under it yielding a slightly tipsy brick, sigh.
I'm a little concerned that I shouldn't be exposing the InsBlock directly to a cooking oven via the cracks between the bricks. Is that a valid safety concern? Will it release any sort of vapor up through the cracks into the food?
I would strongly prefer not to remove the bricks and put down a layer of paste; I'm not sure I could ever get them perfectly placed again. I am considering squiggying fireclay paste (actually, I might as well use the copious firebrick mud from my saw) into the cracks without actually lifting the bricks out.
Is this necessary? Pointless? Noteably inadvisable for any reason?
Thoughts?
