REPLACEMENT PARTS AND REMOVAL INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued)
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.
The directions below are divided into three sections, each section addressing either the baffle (top)
firebricks, side and back firebricks, or floor (bottom) firebricks. Before any bricks are removed, make sure
the appliance is cool and cleaned out. The chart below describes the number and size of bricks by
placement.

REMOVING THE FLOOR (BOTTOM) FIREBRICKS
1. Make sure the appliance is cool and
cleaned out.
2. Remove the door by opening it 90
degrees and pulling it upwards. Make
sure to grasp the door by both ends. It
is heavy and can be damaged easily.
3. Remove the center forward firebrick by
lifting its front top edge (see illustration
below). Do not use any object to pry
the firebrick, for this may cause the
firebrick to chip or crack.
4. Remove the rest of the front bricks, one
by one, following the order listed in the
illustration to the right. Remove the
rear bricks in the order listed.
5. To replace the floor firebricks, follow
these directions in reverse order,
placing the bricks snug against the
firebricks lining the side of the firebox.
