When to replace chimney firebricks?

Your chimney sweep can supply and fit cut to size replacement fire bricks. (flat brick only)
The firebricks in a stove reflect heat back into the fire which allows for a hotter, cleaner burn but these are wear items and will need replacement from time to time.

Example 1

Advice Replace Firebrick 01
If a brick is well supported on three edges then it can remain in place.

As a general rule a single hairline crack is not a problem.

Example 3
