Tile adhesive - quarry tiles

[thumbaloona]

I want to build a small fireplace with 6" quarry tiles, 1/2" thick. I need to fix some to the wall as a surround. Should I use floor tile cement, the same as I use to lay the hearth or otherwise?

Any advice greatly appreciated.

why not

Thanks Breezer. I like simple answers. Floors are horizontal, walls are vertical so I just wanted to be sure that floor tile cement would be strong enough to defy gravity.

Don't forget to damp the wall to help to bond the tiles.
