    Like a façade? You should be able to, if the bricks are cleaned and free of dirt or soot, and the bricks are in good repair: not loose or cracking. Consult whoever you plan to purchase the stone from as to what type adhesive is best for this application.

    This is a big task and you'll likely be looking at the results for a while. Make yourself proud!
