I'm not talking about heat tolerance- I'm referencing soapstones ability to absorb and radiate heat. It's commonly used in fireplaces. Was already planning on using concrete as a stand. Want to build a like firebox so that radiant heat will come back towards the deck.

Is there a special fireproof mortar?

Look for the heat absorption and radiating properties of soapstone tho
