Thanks, King Coal.
I'm heading to the basement to look at the bricks this morning.
I would be very pleasantly surprised if it didn't need some.
My dad has been gone 30 years and he used the stove to burn waste paper.
He told me not to burn it too hot.
I don't know if that is because of the bricks or the chimney.
It was hooked up to the same flue that I have my coal furnace hooked into before I lined it
Edit:
I missed your post from last evening, Steve.
there was a recent thread on this type stove where the owner made a full set of replacement bricks including corners from standard flat bricks, it was an awesome job.
i'll try to find it on forum for you.
That would be awesome.
I'll look too.
Found it.
