Removing and Replacing the Firebricks

The firebricks inside your wood-burning appliance are used to store the radiating heat and create a more thorough combustion inside the firebox. Occasionally one of them will crack and require replacement. Before any bricks are removed, make sure the appliance is cool and cleaned out. When replacing a specific firebrick, follow the directions below for removing the firebricks. Once the broken firebrick is removed, it can be replaced and the firebricks that have been removed can be replaced by following the previous directions in reverse order. There is no need to remove all of the firebricks when replacing just one firebrick. The only time all of the firebricks should be removed is when the appliance needs to be lightened or when the firebox is being cleaned thoroughly.

REMOVING THE SIDE FIREBRICKS

1.Make sure the appliance is cool and cleaned out.

2.Remove the doors by opening each one 90 degrees and pulling it upwards. Make sure to grasp the door by both ends. It is heavy and can be damaged.

3.Remove the side firebricks in the order listed below. The side firebricks are held in place by metal clips that attach to the side of the firebox. Grasp the bricks, one at a time, from the bottom and pivot them out from the bottom.
