Method for preventing early damage to the refractory lining at critical wear areas in a metallurgical furnace, such as an electric arc furnace and the like, including laying-up the critical wear areas of the refractory lining with standard refractory shapes encased in metal. The metal cases extend a distance beyond the hot faces of the refractory shapes to form box-like configurations which act as receptacles and anchors to retain pulverulent refractory material which is subsequently sprayed over the hot faces of the refractory shapes prior to initial start-up of the furnace. The pulverunt sprayed refractory material insulates and protects the hot faces of the refractory shapes from a rapid rate of increase in temperature which occurs during initial melt down and heat up at the beginning of a campaign.
