    Waterford 100B question: firebrick lining

    I have an older Waterford 100B wood stove. It's enameled and my wife loves it. I need some of the ceramic liner bricks. Do I just take generic high temperature masonry blocks and fit them, or do I need to buy specific bricks? I'm in Europe, not in the USA Thank You.

    Raising a Fireplace Xtrordinaire 430 DeLuxe

    My daughter has decided that she wants a gas insert for her fireplace. Her biggest "want" is the biggest viewing area and because she has a very low hearth that's maybe 2" above the floor, we're thinking about elevating the insert. I realize that however you raise the insert, the material should...

    Why flames are hugging the back of the pellet stove?

    Hi folks, I have Whitfield WP 2 pellet stove from the early 1990s. Do you have any idea as to why the flames are hugging the back of the firebox? The picture is attached. I am suspecting some airflow issues. I have taken the firebricks, and air baffles out and cleaned them thoroughly. FYI, I...

    Where to find 9" x 4" x 1.25" Firebrick? (Englander NC-30)

    Hi all, I got an Englander NC30. It's in good shape, but I accidentally broke some of the bricks during transport. For the life of me I can't find any replacements. Lowe's sells bricks, but they're 9 x 4.5 instead of 9 x 4 (even though their website describes them as 4" actual size... false...

    Woodstove doesn't heat any more

    Been running woodstoves (steel, cast iron, etc) since I was a child. Current stove is fairly small steel firebox (approx 24 x 20 x 10 firebox) When first installed 20 years ago that thing was hotter than hell. Once you got a good set of coals, you could throw some wood on it, close the air...

    Source for High-temp firebrick splits

    I've turned a lot of refractory into gravel in my secondary combustion chamber over the years, and I've had a lot of trouble finding suppliers of high heat / high density firebrick. Because of the limited space in my secondary combustion, I need 'splits' - 1 1/4" thick bricks. For longevity, I...

    Damaged Fire Brick

    Hey, I have an older regency r14 insert. After burning one day, I saw there there was a strange cement like deposit of the floor. I went to get it off and chipped a firebrick on the floor. The chip is about 1/4 in deep and 1/2 inch across. I plan on replacing the fire brick soon, but is...

    Lopi Answer Baffle

    I'm installing new firebrick and reinstalling the baffle s bar in my lopi answer stove. The manual doesn't show how the bar gets reinstalled, and it had fallen out when I was moving the stove. I'm uncertain how to reinstall it. Other Lopi models have a more descriptive manual, but do not match...
