Another Glenwood #6?

Check with Lee.

If I remember he experimented with how much air to feed through the over-fire air tubes for the size of the firebed. And to control the tubes he made end caps with a series of holes drilled that I kidded him about his "salt and pepper" air feed system.

Hey, Paul. Did I read correctly you have the firebrick for a #6?

I made the fire brick molds and two sets of bricks for my #6. Then I gave to molds to member wilsonswoodstoves. Wilson Mull 508-763-8941.

He now makes the sets.

Just to give you an update, Wilson came through for me. I received the gas ring/s today and they look to be excellent castings.

I had no luck with the firebrick. Wilson doesn't have any on hand and he is having trouble finding one of the molds. I'll work on that later.

Wilson is a very pleasant man to speak with and he took the time to explain everything in detail. Very positive experience.

Try contacting member Pauliewog.

He had a couple sets a few months ago, might have used them by now.

Thank you, I'll try to get ahold of him. The liner is the only thing I'm lacking.

There's always the option of using ramset refractory, a kitchen rolling pin, and a knife.

Or using the same Rutland castable refractory that I made the brick molds for,... you can do as some have done and cast a liner in place. There are several posts in this section of the forum on how it was done.

Ramset refactory will cost at least $60 and up for a 50lbs. box. Plus $50 shipping and handling.

What about a “super refractory” for bricks?

Anyone ever tried it? They use it in products like “Heatshield”. It’s good to like 2000F-3000F depending on which “brand” super refractory being looked at. They use it to fill cracks in clay chimney linings and they say it (a tiny thin layer 1/8”) makes them zero clearance. They actually coat the entire lining of a clay lined chimney with it.

I used Noxram on my Oak 30 around ten years ago and it's still holding up well. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again. I didn't know if the gas ring required the cast brick as a resting place. As you know, the Oak 30 lacks that ring.
