I was doing a check and maintenance on my 2000 and noticed several cracked fire bricks.
as a matter of fact all but three were broken.
so, I started removing them and found a pad between the brick and fire box.
question one is what is the material and function?
is it absolutely necessary?
Garn wants about $120 for the material and shipping. sounds high to me.
can is be substituted, and if so, with what and where can I obtain the replacement?
also, can I replace the 1-1/4" brick with thicker brick?
I'm thinking it may be a little less likely to crack.
Thanks,
