Firebelly fire bricks replacement

[Lesgrandepotato]

I bought the stove maybe a year back in rough condition in a yard. It’s since been repainted and reglazed. Today I fitted the firebricks in. One to the rear, two sides and a top baffle. 

 

There is is a surprisingly small gap between the top baffle and the top of the stove? Is this to be expected? I’d sort of assumed a decent sized gap would be present. But I’ve never had me head up one of these before.

I don't know the answer to your question, but this is where I get my advice from

The employee  who  answers  the phone (perhaps used to now) seems(ed?) to have an encyclopedic contacts list. She listens well.

Perfect, thanks Ian
