Not only are some of mine broken but it'd be cool to "glue" them
together to make a shape that doesn't involve simple stacking.

Got any ideas? :)

Yes Alvin, you can use fire place cement, or a commercial castable
refractory.

What this is is like an investment - a white glaze. Often
the blocks are edge or corner coated for strength.

The fire place cement is a high temperature mortar the brand is Fullers.

The castable refractory is Pyrocrete 165 arc from Foseco, which is a
monolithic refractory, which means you can build load bearing structures
out of it. Pour it today and use it tomorrow... heat shock resistant,
meaning the home user has no chance at cracking it.

I've never seen it - but if you want to try - and live with the smell
or the one time burn out -
There is very high temp 'glue' that is used in wood stoves to glue on
the fiberglass rope to seal the door.

I found it in a hardware store - it was a red thick stuff - like RTV.
