The place to get bricks cheap was goodrich's in Epping, but they just closed and it's a stinkin' Taco Bell now. I have a good amount of used bricks too if you need some. Wish I had seen your post sooner.
Nhtreeguy,(sorry Maple enthusiast) your firebox looks good. Blueberryhill, I would be interested in buying some used bricks and blankets as I am just starting to build a barrel evap. Thank you
Chester how did you see my firebox? Blueberryhill, I bought some I may beed more. I have the old brick out of the evap. Not sure its all there but there is a pallet of them. I have the ones in plave for firebox. Would rather blanket the top under the flue pan. How far away from the top lip of arch should insulate up to? I have read two inches. Does that sound about right?
Did you use fulls or splits?
The best place I have found for brick is O'Mahoney's in Lawrence, Ma.
I have all full bricks. I do have some splits left over from the woodstove in house. The full bricks fit just about perfect the what I have them situated now. Just need to get them set in there tonight and wait on blanket.
Ha sorry nhtreeguy I guess it was maple enthusiasts photos, teach me to read properly next time.
Vermiculite works well but you need blanket or something to weight it down. Otherwise it'll get moved around under draft and get sucked out the stack.Quote:

Madmapler so put the vermiculite down then blanket over? Still looking for spacing between rear flue pan and arch. Is two inches a good space? Blueberryhill, I may take you up on some blanket. Don't think I ordered enough.
