With mortar. Simply insert cutting the tile size and the use of mortar. Then fill the joints with cement. This is no different than any other tile.

One possibility might be easier, and the option to reverse its decision following patch:

First, get on board, "cement" is a thin sheet of cement, usually 1 / 2 "or 3 / 4" x 3 "x 5", much like plaster, but contains no combustible materials in or to her.
Attach to the wall somehow, perhaps with suitable screws or anchors, and then make your tile installation as normal, which is likely done as a rule to a flat surface. Their use is regular mortar or you can "hold refractory 'mortars, in his paintings, has remained very strong, and the heat did not bother with him, from the same material on the refractory bricks in the wall in the heat box . (Not used directly on the bricks, because if you never get off, once dry)

If you want to see later to the traditional masonry fireplace, you can use the cement board, which remain intact with the Commission to remove the tiles and stones! Tiles as before was there.

Hello, I am a mason contractor and a fireplace in front. If the old chimney is abdomen should point the mortar joints. and clean, simple. then install like tiles on the wall. its really simple. if they are still relatively new, clean, easy. Remove dust, perhaps with an age in wet ditches and tiles.
