Does this model have a fire brick lined bottom. I see that the walls do. I bought this house in Solo, Missouri with the Earth Stove not know much about the stove. It looked like a used stove in good condition with the owner acknowledging that it assisted a heat pump for heating the house. We've used it for about two weeks and I now thought that if the sides are lined with brick why not the bottom. I thought there must be some out there who have this stove. Thanx ahead of time for the replies.
No experience with an earth stove but I thought the same thing about my all nighter. After a GOOD cleaning I realized it did in fact have fire brick in the bottom. A lot of times ash fills in the cracks and makes it all blend together when you look in. Read about this some other places as well.
