Refractory slabs Replacement
The intense heat of the fire will normally cause hairline cracks in the refractory slabs. These cracks
can be minimized by proper curing as described in “First Fires”. They will not normally diminish the
effectiveness of the refractory slabs. If large cracks develop, then the refractory slabs should be
replaced. To replace the refractory slabs, follow these steps:
1- Using a ratchet key and a Torx (T-30),
unscrew the two Torx screws (B)
holding up the andiron (A).
2- Remove the floor refractory slab (C).
