I hate to derail right off the bat, but we have multiple old home sites on our property. Sharecroppers houses mainly, and I’ve always been in awe of how the chimneys are made of local rock and idk what they did for mortar back then. Most of these are made of hundreds of small flat rocks that I disk up in every greenfield we have.
Some places that’s all that’s left is the chimneys in the woods.
I thought about building a small outdoor fireplace out of them myself.
Good luck with yours.
Everything woke turns to shit

Good luck with yours. They used Lime Putty for mortar. It was used through the late 1950's for structural masonry that won't be seen. When dry it is VERY hard and pure HELL to get off the face of a brick.
