Cement board and dot and dab for stove fireplace recess lining

[messy]

Can primed cement board eg multi-pro xs be effectively glued to primed brick work using dry lining adhesive or should tile addy be used instead?
I would be using mapei primer G and gtec universal bonding compound

I have used stixall on cement board with success but it was only a small fireback

Iv fitted loads of wood burning stoves and I always use some form of cement board, Iv tried quite a few over the years the best Iv used is firmacell power panels

Iv always stuck them on with plenty of dri wall adhesive

I've always been told to use glassroc board 15mm and plenty of driwall adhesive

Carbon silicate is the best board out there but hard to come by. You dab them 1 of 2 ways, either screed the wall as a whole so as to try not to leave any voids when pushing the Panel back, this is hetas preferred way, to me though there's always going to be a void somewhere with nowhere for the air to escape as its heated up.
All I do is dot and dab using roughly twice the amount you would do on a normal wall, making sure to leave a couple of continuous gaps from bottom to top to let the hot air escape past the top of the board into the chimney.

Thanks for the replies.
So dot and dab can be used on cement board for this application.

BTW - for an effective bond, acrylic primer must be used on the board and walls not PVA

I used powder tile adhesive. No sealer or anything. When dry I put a few screws in the board. Think you can used anything that ain't flammable but cement based products would be best I think
