Garrison 2 question

[TerribleTim]

Resent my restored a 79 garrison 2 and can’t figure out the fire brick pattern. Can anyone help with this? Thank you! Tim

I think I'd put in all the side, vertical bricks first. It looks like the rear corners get full vertical bricks too. Then fit the floor bricks in.

Thank you sir! The back corners of the garrison are actually the air vents though and are controlled by the dampers on the upper back corners of the stove.

Thanks. I always wondered how they fed air to the fire.

 

[TerribleTim]

Yes it’s an interesting air feed from the rear top, down a baffle and to the rear bottom sides of the fire. Also the air is heated before reaching the fire.

As popular as these stoves were, I just can’t believe I can’t find the brick pattern online!

Old manuals were slim on details and the stove is over 40 yrs old. That said, we do have a file on the stove in the Resources that may help.
