Curing / Burn in:
The first 10 fires must be small in size to keep the heat low and limit the time from 1.5 to 3 hours, this is to ensure that any moisture/vapour trapped inside is allowed to dissipate slowly. Moisture heated to quickly expands inside the concrete/fire mortar pieces. Even after the curing/burn in period it is important to start your fires small and build them up slowly, especially if your fire has not been used for a period of time e.g. after Winter. Hairline cracking is normal and unavoidable especially if your fires get too hot too fast. This is not a problem structurally. Concrete does have a mind of its own even if you go through the curing process properly.
