I am going to my daughters house to re-hang up a cue stick holder on a
brick wall.

I will also hang a fireplace mantle and she said it is heavy.

I have packed my masonary bits.

What recommendations for hangars for the mantle?

I used Cobra masonary anchors to hang some heavy wrought iron burglar
bars for a customer.

Have a great day,

Isn't the mantle partly recessed into the surrounding area?? * Is it
wood, tile, brick?????

I won't know all the details till I get to her house.

Since she already bought it, I would venture to say that I will mount
it similar to mounting
a shelf to a wall.

The brick wall is the same as you would find in the exterior of a
house.

Maybe I should drill into the brick proper and not into the mortar,
and then insert the anchor bolts
to give it additional strength.

I'd use the regular lead inserts into the mortar. *Use more for the
mantle if it's really that heavy. *I would not drill into the brick
because if anyone's plans ever change it is a lot easier to repair the
holes in the mortar.

Excellent point.
