When do I need to replace the firebrick and what type of friebrick do I have to buy?
The firebricks in your stove are there to protect the steel from the excessive heat of the flames and embers. Without firebricks, your stove would wear out prematurely. It could also become to hot and cause objects or structures nearby to catch fire. If you notice that some firebricks are disintegrated and the steel is directly in contact with the fire or embers, replace the firebricks immediately. If you only notice cracks on some firebricks, it is not necessary to replace them. The frequency at which you will change your firebricks depends on how often you use your stove.
There are different sizes of firebricks. Most stores will sell firebricks with a dimension of 4,5"X9"X1,25". These firebricks are adequate for many stoves, but will not fit on all Drolet units. It is preferable that you visit our parts section in order to clearly identify the type of firebrick that you need. Some models, like the HT1200, HT2000, Sawman, Vision XL, and Royal Comfort have some larger, non-standard firebricks that are only available on special order.
