Without the firebrick you run the risk of cracking the steel panels if they get too hot--at which point you could ruin the stove if the damage was extensive. Personally, I'd wait on the firebrick.......
NP
even if you don't crack the plates you could warp them so that the firebrick will not fit properly or will break everytime you accidentally chuck a piece of wood a little too hard and hit one. Bottom line is a short lived stove and one that is potentially unsafe.
Not sure why you had to order those bricks. Hardware stores should carry them. Yes, I too would wait.
