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.
It was made of bricks but before bricks it was all stones and wood
Yes. In my opinion Ash is probably the best wood of all to use in a wood burner. I should know having burned about 3 tonnes of it last winter and having spent all day yesterday splitting down long trunks. It can be used green very well but ought to be seasoned to prevent tar forming in your flue. Matt
Drift wood can be used in a wood burning stove. It is not as efficient as other aged wood but it will burn. Drift wood is often collected on beaches to have bon-fires. Any wood that has been in the ocean will destroy your stove in a matter of months. I sell wood stoves. A fellow brought in his stainless steel baffle from a stove that he purchase from us less than 6 months earlier. He had been burning wood that had been in the ocean. I could literally crumble it in my hand.
The control knob thermostat is probably broken and all you have is on and off.
Not the best wood. Rapid burn, rapid burn out, very high creosote production- if used other than as kindling, be sure to clean your chimney OFTEN.
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.
remove all sooting and debris, repaint with stove bright of fire place paint, wax any glass and enjoy
One of the biggest advantages to using a wood burning stove is that a wood stove greatly reduces electricity costs. Another advantage is that wood is a renewable resource and is considered more environmentally friendly.
Obtuse means that an object is not clear at all and is a solid color. Items such as wood, metal, and bricks are obtuse.
umm you know buy a normal stove or you could BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN A CRY ABOUT IT bipolar much yes yes i am
A building can be made out of all sorts of different materials, ranging from bricks to wood. A lot of buildings in the USA are built out of wood, but these aren't as strong and durable as buildings that are built out of bricks. A building could even be made out of ice, for example, igloos built by eskimos. Temporary buildings however, are typically made out of stainless steel.
All cocaine bricks, hint... he sells cocaine.
