Small brothers bricking

[Paul VT]

Anyone with a small bros arch. Is your arch bricked below the grates or only above?

[farmall h]

The sides are bricked in a fashion to support the grates. leader in Swanton can print you a diagram. Grimm and Small Bros. arches are basically the same.

Yes the area below the grates should be bricked do you know what model you have?
I assume this is a new evaporator. Am I correct? Who did you purchase this evaporator from?

[Paul VT]

It is a lightning 2x6. Not sure how old it is? How do I brick it so the brick doesn't fall over? Because the bottom flares out? The bottom of the fire box was open so I made a pan out of 1/8 steel. Not sure if it would support the weight of the brick?
