Is there space in the front of the stove for shorter fire bricks to protect the steel as well as the banking bar? Could they be something the previous owner fabricated? Does the stove have air passages that need to be blocked for coal burning??...just thinking out loud.
If they're not in the manual then I'm stumped.

I don't think they go in the front as when you have the banking bars in there they are real close to the grate..michaelanthony wrote: ↑Sun.

Also I don't see any holes or anything
I did a search and in another post on here someone said they are to hold the side fire brick. But I can't figure out how..
I wasn't there when the stove was taken apart and moved so that's why I don't know where to put them. .
I can't find any diagrams anywhere that show anything but firebrick

I have a box stove that had 3 pieces of angle iron bolted together in the shape of a "U" They sat on top of the fire bricks along the 2 sides and the back. The dam thing was a PITA to remove in order to change bricks of simply to clean out the stove so I got rid of the foolish thing because the fire and all the coal would keep the bricks from moving. I'm thinking you got some spare parts that common sense is saying, "wtf"...could they go in the ash area? funneling ash into the pan? Keep 'em handy and fire it up. It will show itself if needed.

Yes, they do leave out a lot. I guess that with all those pages in the stove manuals devoted to safety to keep the lawyers happy they run out of paper ?
I had a wood stove that I bought 13 years ago, new and never used it. Recently gave it to one of my kids. The bricks had been removed for shipping when I picked it up at the stove shop.
It uses four different sizes of fire bricks and some custom shaped fiberglass panels.
I email the manufacturer (Napoleon Stoves in Canada) and explained that I needed help to figure out that jigsaw puzzle. The nice gal at Napoleon emailed me a PDF file of the firebrick diagram that same day.

Doing a search for "Gibraltar stoves", I see there are online shops offering replacement parts for some models. One like yours, while it's listed as a wood stove, it only shows two types of firebrick retainers - one for the rear and one each side.
Maybe they have some of the factory info and could tell you what your model is supposed to have ?

They go behind and under the side grate retainers to direct ash into the pan. Make sure the cut out corners face the back of the stove.
