Regency i2400 insert firebricks

[tumm21]

I have had my stove for about 9 years and my bricks are starting to dissinegrate. I was thinking of replacing them this year. Is it ok to get an aftermarket brick or should I get it from the dealer? The dealers cost is like 100 bucks. Compared to maybe 25 on Amazon for a aftermarket.
Thanks

You can use aftermarket Split Bricks. About a buck, maybe more at your local block company

I bought some at Tractor Supply, about a buck if I remember correctly.

Is there a different grade I should worry about? Meaning the weight of the brick?

 

[Tom123]

For my Napoleon 1402 they were similar to the ones I bought. Even same size. I do not know if there are different weights etc.

You need to get pumice brick to replace them you dont need to get them from regency but they should not be regular splits. They have very different insulating properties and because of that it would make all of the specified clearances no longer valid.

If I go to a brick place do you think they will have the sizes I need?

Most places will have firebrick splits, but not in pumice firebrick. If you want your stove to perform at its best then replacing them with factory bricks would be best. If you replace them with regular firebrick the stove will still work ok, but may not burn as cleanly or efficiently.
The dealer's price isn't bad, but here's another source for comparison:
