Assembly Instructions - 60” 

 

The MAGNUM Model 60 is a custom unit made of 

standard parts that are cut and fitted together in the field. The 

following cut and assembly instructions identify the parts by 

name and by part number, the quantity required, the field cut 

dimensions for each modified component and the placement 

of each part in the assembly.

Note:

 At all component placement, be sure to mortar all 

contact surfaces with Earthcore Mortar. Check for complete 

sealing of each contact joint while assembly progresses (see 

“General Isokern Assembly Instructions” on page 14 of this 

manual for mortar information and instructions).

Step 1: 

Base plate, part M91, two required; All require field 

cutting.

 

Set the un-cut M91 base plate components on an 

appropriate masonry foundation. Cut  one base plate to 30 

1/2”. (Figure 22) Set the two pieces so that the line of the 

grouping is a butt joint. (Figure 23). Set  the  cut  M91  pieces 

into place. This makes for square ends. The overall length 

of the base plate assembly should measure 73-1/2” and 28" 

deep.

Step 2:

  Side  wall,  part  M90,  eight  pieces  required,  used 

“as is”. The fire box side wall components are used without 

modification. The side wall pieces stack four high on both 

the left and right hand ends of the base plate arrangement 

(Figure 24)

 

The  stack  of  four  fire  box  side  wall  components 

will be assembled in conjunction with the firebox back wall 

components described in the following steps.

Step 3:

  Back  wall,  part  M67,  eight  pieces  required,  to  be 

“field modified”. Cut the tongue off one end of each of the 

four M67 back wall components as shown. 

 

After cutting, four of these cut pieces should 

measure 38 1/2” from the cut end to the shoulder of the un-

altered end (Figure 25). 

 

The other four cut pieces should measure 22 1/4” 

from the cut end to the shoulder of the unaltered end. (Figure 

26)

Step 4:

 Build the MAGNUM Model 60 firebox by setting a 

38 1/2” M67 back wall (from step 3) on the base plate with 

it’s tongue end interlocked into the firebox side wall at the 

end of the baseplate. 

 

The square cut end of this a 38-1/2” M67 back wall

 component sits flush with the back of the base plate with 

its cut end past the centerline in the base plate arrangement 

(Figure 27).

 

Next set the 22-1/4” cut M67 piece so that its tongue 

end interlocks with the side wall component at the opposite 

end of the base plate. The square cut end of the 22-1/4” M67 

should make a snug butt joint with the square cut end of the 

38-1/2” M67 component (Figure 28).
