Hi there,

We recently purchased an old Jetstream furnace, but the refractory chamber was completely destroyed. We have a friend who is a stone mason who will help us to rebuild, but we have been unable to find any drawings/plans/molds/etc. to guide us. Has anyone recast the entire refractory chamber or does anyone have plans, drawings, or measurements that we could base our rebuild on?

Thank you!

This is a complete refractory liner.

I no longer have this liner.

The liner in its box. The material between the liner and the sheet metal box is vermiculite.

This liner was re-buildable.
Have you called Kerr controls? A company in Ontario made their last bunch of liners. Maybe they could tell you who the company is?.

Thank you for the great photos. I had contacted Kerr but they haven't got back to me. I will try again. The liner that came with the furnace might be salvageable. If not, I think we can make a new one. Any thoughts on how much cement would be needed? Thanks again!

Post some pictures and I may be able to make some suggestions.
