I have a Heatilator fireplace, model HB36AI (HB36A1). The back and hearth refractory is showing chipping. Can this be repaired? If not, is it difficult to replace them?
Almost all wood stoves and fireplaces use a replaceable refractory brick. You can order pre-cut kits or cut your own to fit. Any wood stove shop should be able to order the pre-cut refractory if you tell them the information you posted here. Here is a possible online source: http://www.fireplaceguys.com/Parts/parts.html
