Do you still have the pieces ?

If so, you can "glue" them together with furnace cement. Wet both surfaces of the break and then put on a thin layer of cement. Then push the pieces together to squeeze out the excess cement. That's how I fixed the 100+ year old fire bricks in my range.

The brick I am looking for is a corner brick, odd shaped hollow. There is a chunk missing. I'll post a picture after the holidays. This will answer a lot of questions. I've found them listed on some of the stove suppliers, they have no stock & can not get from their supplier anymore.

you could try to make a mold off one of the good one and make another.

there are guys here that can walk you thru the whole process.

Or, dam up the hole where the chunk is missing and pour in some castable refractory cement.

Pictures of the damaged brick would help us to show you how best to repair it.

You are better off making a whole new refractory than trying to repair a broken one. The key is getting it dry internally before firing it, otherwise you make junk in a hurry so pay attention to that process.

Looking for a replacement brick for a model 460B. Unable to locate at any of the stove suppliers. New or used is acceptable or any suggestions for repair. Any source for a large fire brick one could be cut out of?

Yup, it can be repaired.

I'd stiff wire brush the edges of the crack, and the gap, down to clean fresh brick.

Pick up some Hercules Furnace Cement at Lowes. Then dampen the edges of the crack and use the furnace cement like glue. Prop it up so it won't move for 24 hours in a warm dry place.

To fill in the missing piece, place a wax paper covered piece of wood, or cardboard in behind the gap. Hold it up against the gap by packing newspaper in behind it.

Dam off the ends of the gap with masking tape. Dampen the edges and pour in Rutland #601 castable refractory cement into the gap and let set over night in a warm place. Tap the brick and work out any air bubbles poking with a pencil. Let dry for a few days near a heat source before firing in the stove.
