The bricks are fire bricks that isolate the flame from the surrounding metal of the stove. Missing bricks will cause hot spots in the firebox. Over time the excessive heat will start to break down the metal and may eventually lead to a burn through. This will render your wood stove unusable as combustion air will be drawn in through the hole. This will lead to no control over the flame as there is now by using the control damper.

Difference between four burner range and gas stove?

A four-burner range refers to a cooking appliance that features four separate burners on top, typically part of a larger oven unit, allowing for multiple dishes to be cooked simultaneously. In contrast, a gas stove can refer to any cooking appliance that uses gas as its fuel source, which may or may not have multiple burners. While a four-burner range is a specific type of gas stove, not all gas stoves have four burners; they can vary in the number of burners and configurations. Essentially, the term "four-burner range" is more specific, while "gas stove" is broader.

Wood Stoves are not designed to burn wood all the efficiently and the coals you see are normal. There really isn't a lot you can do to improve the burning efficiency of your wood stove. If the stove is heating properly and you have a small amount of unburned charcoal, you are doing everything fine.
