Refractory slabs Replacement
The intense heat of the fire will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory slabs. These cracks can be
minimized by proper curing as described in “First Fires”. They will not normally diminish the effectiveness
of the refractory slabs. If large cracks develop, then the refractory slabs should be replaced. To replace the
refractory slabs, follow these steps:
1-
Using a ratchet key and a Torx (T-30),
unscrew the two Torx screws (B)
holding up the andiron (A).
2-
Remove the floor refractory slab (C).
