I doubt anything els would. Oh, yeah, crematoriums use a castable refractory cement. and National chimney sells one made by Rutland fireplace products. You would need to either make a mold or consult with Rutland for a smoothing or parging as we call it, procedure. I still like red of yellow firebrick. Dave Chamber tech 2– might work.

The problem is that the temperatures are too high for ordinary cement products. My reccomendation are yellow and/or red firebick. But since you asked for a smooth product. you might consult with the manufacturers of chamber tech 2000, which is formulated for the smoke chamber area above the fireplace. it is listd for use as a refractory product for withstanding temperatures in excess of 2000 degrees. The firebox interior can exceed that temperature by several hundred degrees, so consult with Ahrens fireplace products who manufactures it or National chimney Supply 301- 897-6461 who distributes it first. To be safe I always use firebrick. Dave There iare various products used with limited success. The problem is that the temperatures are too high for ordinary cement products.
