I lined the bottom and the angled bottom sides of my 5036 and I have a friend who has done so with his 6048. I felt that it helped with restart and kept the coal bed stronger especially in the shoulder seasons. The key is to make sure you get Ashtrol under it and in the corners and every once and awhile take the brick out, clean the bottom and check for issues.

The reasons Pete gave are what CB sezs for warranty...moisture under brick can corrode the steel...voids warranty. Lime can (could)be substituted for Ashtrol.
