    Hi all,

    We installed the Aoife Eco non boiler stove, I took out the back bricks not knowing what they were.


    I know the order I took them out, but unsure if the back bricks is at the back or on the top

    Luckily I took them out carefully with no damage to any of them.

    Can somebody show me a photo of their fire Bricks in the same stove please?


    Thanks in advance.

    Do you have the manual? Page 15 shows 3 firebricks. One either side that are notched to take the third on the top https://waterfordstanley.com/media/qheotwkp/stanley-aoife-eco-sf-nb-manual-010422.pdf

    Top "brick" isn't really a firebrick its a vermiculite panel so quite thin and easily broken. Its also notched somewhat so it fits on top of the bricks either side.

    I would expect that you'd see burn marks on the three bricks so it would be somewhat obvious where they overlapped at the joints when in postion.

    Edit> I had a thought about the top brick - vermiculite panel. If it is as thin as I think it is, it might be worth drawing around it to make a template? Keep the template because later if the brick needs replacing you can buy a firebrick sheet and cut out a new one. https://www.hardwareireland.ie/product/Stove-Care-Fire-Brick-Vermiculite-Insulating-Slab-2072/

    Hi thank you! I was unsure of the top going to the top or back they are in again now!

    Good idea I have done that too, and thank you for the link also.

    Can you confirm how thick that top "brick" is and if it is a brick or a sheet of vermiculite board?

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    It is thinner than the side bricks but seems the same kind of material as them

    What I'm really asking is if they are bricks in that they are quite heavy? Vermiculite board is very light.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Definitely bricks! I looked again, all the same kind, and definitely not any kind of board
