Things You'll Need

Step 1:

Open the wood stove door and remove any debris. Clean ashes out of the stove and remove the log grate.

Step 2:

Pull any damaged fire bricks from the stove with your fingers. Measure the bricks carefully so you can replace them with bricks of the same size.

Step 3:

Clean the empty area, thoroughly removing all debris. Brush out any broken pieces lodged under surrounding bricks with a small wire brush.

Step 4:

Place the new fire brick into the empty space and push it into place. Place a block of wood over the brick and tap the wood with a rubber mallet to push the brick firmly into the opening.
