    Hey guys. I'm new to the forum so go easy on me.
    I have a Huntsman model 241 wood stove and I need to replace the fire brick. Any suggestions on locating the correct size? I noticed that Lowe's here in NC sells a six pack for US Stove for $40 that seem to be the right dimensions but not quite sure.

    Thanks for any help.

    Right where I want to be.
    Welcome aboard Slash.
    Tractor Supply sells firebrick. Can you take a measurement of the old ones? You can always cut them down if they're too big.
    Seems like they're only $3-4 apiece.

    I bought a few at TSC and they have been in service for years.. They carry the US Stove brand at TSC as well.. The pumice bricks that came with this stove all broke in the back of the stove from loading.. These can take a beating! Good luck and welcome to the forum!

    Not sure what the type of place would be called in your area. Here it's called Willamette Grey Stone, if you want to look it up to get an idea. A place to get pavers, blocks, retaining blocks. Not general homeowner amounts as in box type store stuff, instead like industrial landscapers amounts. They should have fire brick and several options and sizes at the best prices. Might look into something like that. Get a few extras too. Just remember your first burn is gonna be lacking, you'll have to burn off the moisture in the bricks, go slow and work your way up or they can crack and or crumble on you.
