Why are stoves (the ones lve seen) only lined half way up with firebrick?

You'll need to provide more information on the "stoves you've seen" Are they EPA stoves or older designs?
 
Are the new epa ones full brick?

Firebrick protects the stove body and holds the heat in the coal bed which helps the fire burn hotter for more complete combustion.
