The fake firebrick on the inside of the lower door on my boiler is broken. I have it held in place with thin metal strips but I would like to replace now before it's freezing cold out and it fails.

Lower door is bad 1 x 14.5 x 14.5

Upper door is cracking but not to bad yet 1 x 16 x 18

The stuff they used is like a fiber layer

Any ideas on how to replace would be wonderful.

I have photos but have not got a image hosting site sense Photobucket went away.

How about something like this? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077VSYJ9S/?tag=hearthamazon-20

or here is another option on ebay.(broken link removed to https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-2-Refractory-Ceramic-Fiber-Insulation-Board-2300F-23-6-x-23-6/122994680890?hash=item1ca30de43a:g:hHwAAOSw-W9bETYC:sc:USPSPriority!18812!US!-1)

uThank you. Glad to know I don't need a hosting site anymore.

I saw the Lynn boards online but it said you had to be a distributor, never thought about Amazon breaking it down.

Thank you.

Thank you again.
I bought the material from Amizon. It cut easy with a razor knife. I'm ready to fire it up now, going to put it off until it gets a bit colder.
