Hello, is this normal? Where can I get more to replace the older ones? I have two bricks on the bottom that have worn down about 1/4 of an inch. Should I call the Hampton to see if they will send me out new ones?
From my experience, the firebrick used in Hampton stoves are of a higher quality than in some others. I suspect that if your bricks are wearing down you may be having some reaction to some of the fuel you burn. Corrossive materials or real green wood will cause errosion of bricks in any stove regardless of the quality of the brick. I'd also be aware that if you are burning something you shouldn't, the errossion will not be confined to the bricks. This is as good a reason as any to look at burn practices!!cocey2002 said:Hello, is this normal? Where can I get more to replace the older ones?

I replaced them with normal firebrick and have noticed no problem.
I cut them outside on my old crappy table saw with a masonry abrasive type blade.
It makes a bunch of dust.
I had to drill a hole for the startup air too.
Hah!! I don't even get to my own boss never mind anyone elses!burntime said:Woodstoveguy, I like your avatar, reminds me of some bosses I have had. :cheese:
