FIREPLACE

[CMOSSOM]

HI CAN YOU HELP.
I smashed out my fire place and brick suroundnow the opening is massive so i phone a guy from the yellowpages to come and replace the bricks for me so i can get a new fire plumbed in.
he said he could do it but i would need to get a stone litle and 14 thermalite bricks. im not sure what these are but can i use them for a fireplace? the fire will be a gas ornamental fire with a suround. i will use sement and plaster over the brick when its finished. is this right???
