Here is the response that I got from Hitzer in a very timely manner:
You will need 12 - 4 x 9 x 1 1/4 firebrick split. These are very common and
can be found at almost any fireplace/stove shop, big box stores like(Lowes,
Home Depot, TSC, even most hardware stores). You also need 2 - 4 x 13 x 1
1/4 these are harder to find. These lay down right under the front door
unless you have an old stove. When we first started making these stoves
there were no bricks in the front.
The dealer closest to you that may have them is:

HILLSIDE ACRES STOVE OUTLET
797 LANCASTER PIKE
QUARRYVILLE, PA 17566
717-923-0550

Great customer service!

Most brick yards have them in two sizes, full size which is slightly larger than a typical house brick and splits that are about 1-1/4 thick.
if you have to cut any of them I have used a diamond sawzall blade and a trickle of water from a garden hose, just take your time.
