BROKEN FIRE BRICKS
It is common for vermiculite bricks to break. They are fully heat resistant but can be quite fragile.
The most common bricks to break are the base and back bricks as these take the brunt of abuse. To ensure the longevity of your fire
bricks, please ensure that you gently place fuel in the fire and do not over stack fuel. We would also suggest leaving a small bed of ash
in the fire at all times. This helps the wood burn more efficiently and also acts a cushion between the log and the brick itself. If a brick is
split it will not need replacing and this could potentially happen at any point. We only suggest changing bricks when they have
crumbled away, exposing the stove’s
body.
