I have a very old Warner Wood Stove that needs its fire bricks replaced, but I can't figure out how to do it. Can anyone help me on how to do this or direct me to some directions I can download that tell me how to do it?

How do I upload a photo? I do not know what model number it is, or where to find the number. Thanks

Read this link for posting photos. Look for a silver tag usually attached to the back of the stove that may provide model info.

I tried to upload a photo of the inside of my stove, but I kept getting an error message. I don't know if it uploaded or not. If it did, here it is.

Here is the inside. I could not get the photo of the outside to upload. It has a solid door front that say Warner across the two doors. You can see the brick I want to replace in this photo.

If it is just the one brick that you want to replace simply remove it, measure it and replace. You may have to remove one or two from the floor of the stove to be able to pull it out.

I believe you may be over thinking the situation. Let the stove cool down, clean it out really well, use a shop vac and be VERY careful not to suck up any hot embers. Dump the vac ashes safely and immediately. Take a picture or make a diagram of how they currently sit in the stove and then just slowly and carefully start removing them. You may need to use a flat tip screw driver or something similar to get the first one out but after that it should go quite smooth. Measure and replace the ones that need replacing. Another option would be to get a chimney sweep out to do a cleaning and ask them to remove for you. Good Luck!

Breaking a bottom brick isn't a big deal. Just save the pieces. Put them back in when done, whatever little cracks will fill with ash and be good as new.
