Woodchuck coal and wood furnace

[pdsammons1]

Anyone know where to get a firebrick replacement kit for a Woodchuck furnace?

What size are they? If they are the standard 4.5" x 9" x 1.25" then you can buy those at TSC, HD, bLowes, local hardware, stove shop, etc...if there are some of them that are "partial" bricks (custom cut) a $15-20 diamond wheel on an angle grinder will cut them like buttah...

I think woodchuck had some funky dimensions. Probably have to Google it and see if they are still in the parts business, unlikely but worth a shot. If not then just do as mentioned and cut what you can find to match as closely as you have. A little more ore less shouldn’t matter as long as everything is butted up next to one another. I’ve cut a lot of fire bricks adding more to be able to pile more fuel in. When I cut front and back bricks for my hot blast I mad a cardboard template that matched the angles of the stove. Then I just transferred that to four bricks with a sharpie and cut.

Wear a mask and face shield and gloves. It’s a dusty job. A regular fiber cut off wheel works just as good and they are only a few dollars. If you’re completely unfamiliar with it there’s probably a YouTube video on it I’m sure.

I bought a complete set for a WC 2900 from Meyer manufacturing the company that built woodchuck back in 2008 I think it was around $100 with shipping maybe $125 I believe they 1re 2" thick and yes odd shaped. I placed the order over the phone

It’s good they still sell them. There’s a lot of woodchucks still in use around here.
