Hi, My stoves firebricks, one at back and one on left side have cracked in the middle. Is this dangerous, or should I not worry about it?? Thanks

Should ideally be repaired, i believe you can get Fire Cement for this purpose any brick and mortor DIY store should have it.

Hard to say but I wouldn't worry about it. Do keep an eye on it every time you clean the stove to see if it gets worse and looks like dropping out or crumbling away.

We have had a crack in two fire bricks in our range (in constant use) for 5 or more years and I've no intention of changing them unless the bricks start falling apart.
