CAN I MODIFY MY STOVE TO INSTALL A GLASS DOOR? 

 
It is forbidden to modify a stove.  Stoves are safety tested with a specific configuration, drawings of which 
are filed with the regulating authorities. Changing the type of door could lead to serious difficulties with 
your insurance company in case of fire.  It would also automatically nullify your warranty. 

 

 

WHEN DO IN NEED TO REPLACE THE FIREBRICKS? 

 

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 too 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.
