Most guys are using the wrong mortar type for the top seal, and it cracks with the first freeze. What brand of high-temp mortar are you all using for that joint?

Ugh, this is like when people argue over what broke the TV. @abby_morgan18 is right, the little stuff adds up and then everyone acts shocked when it finally breaks.
