The Problem
The firebox had cracked and shifted firebrick, creating gaps that allowed heat to reach combustible framing.
Diagnosis
The firebrick had deteriorated from thermal cycling and the mortar joints had failed. The firebox was no longer safe for use.
Solution
We rebuilt the firebox with new refractory firebrick and high-heat mortar, restoring proper clearances and safe operation.
