When is the time to change the bricks ?

[Dmitry]

It's been 10 years. The bricks cracked but still standing. Are there any benefits to replacing them?

The main benefit is when they start falling apart into the fire. One option would be to swap out some floor bricks with them. The cracks are less likely to be an issue there.

I’d just put some new ones in in place of the cracked ones. Simple and cheap enough

Where do you get them? I see you are in CT as well.

I went through and replaced my damaged bricks. They are cheap and I didn't want a cracked brick to fall into the fire during the winter and create a "must fix now" situation.

I’ve seen firebricks for sale at Lowes
