Purpose: The brick kit in wood burning appliances are designed to keep the heat inside the firebox to ensure a clean burn.  They also protect the appliance from over heating.

Intact fire bricks are critical in a wood stove for several reasons:

1. Thermal Insulation: Fire bricks are made from refractory materials that have excellent insulating properties. They are designed to withstand high temperatures without transferring heat to the outer structure of the stove. This insulation helps to contain and direct heat towards the combustion chamber, increasing the efficiency of the stove and reducing heat loss.
2. Heat Distribution: Fire bricks help distribute heat evenly throughout the wood stove. They absorb heat from the fire and radiate it into the combustion chamber and surrounding areas. This ensures that the stove operates at optimal temperatures for complete combustion and efficient heating.
3. Protection against Structural Damage: Wood stoves operate at extremely high temperatures. Fire bricks act as a protective barrier between the intense heat of the fire and the metal structure of the stove. They prevent direct contact between the flames and the stove’s internal components, reducing the risk of structural damage or warping.
4. Extended Lifespan: The presence of intact fire bricks helps to extend the lifespan of a wood stove. By providing thermal insulation and protecting the stove’s metal components, fire bricks reduce the stress caused by repeated heating and cooling cycles. This can prevent premature wear and tear, ultimately prolonging the stove’s operational life.
5. Safety: Fire bricks play a crucial role in ensuring the safety of wood stove operation. By containing the intense heat within the combustion chamber, they minimize the risk of overheating the stove’s outer surfaces. This reduces the chances of accidental burns or ignition of nearby combustible materials.

It’s important to regularly inspect the fire bricks in a wood stove and replace any damaged or cracked bricks. Damaged fire bricks can compromise the stove’s performance, efficiency, and safety. If you notice any signs of deterioration, it’s recommended to consult the stove’s manufacturer or a professional technician for proper maintenance and replacement.

Installation tips: Often there is a trick in replacing the firebrick.  Please wait until the firebox is completely cool and free of all embers.  Remove all the ash and you may need to use a vacuum.  It will take some time and patience.

Please Note: As these bricks are heavy and come in a package direct from the manufacturer, its normal that one (or more) bricks will arrive cracked.  A cracked brick is safe to use.  If you are not prepared to keep a cracked brick, please do not order this kit online as there is nothing we can do to prevent this.
