Hello there Wilson. I don't believe the top bricks are the same as the bottom. Looks like the top row has a 1/2 a bullnose or roundover. My bottom row is worse than the top.

Joe I found the front of the 111 in good cond. have not looked for brick yet Wilson

Perfect. PM sent.

Skip, while you are looking, see if you have the slotted ring for a 111.

I'd be interested in a set of 111 bricks too.

Joe how goes the battle with the g111 September is 4 weeks away .........

Doh! Don't rub it in. Where is this summer going? (Fast). I see progress right around the corner. Stay tuned.

Ok can't wait. Some day I will feed my addiction and get a suspended pot base heater. I might have to swing up this winter and check out ur g111

Don't need to wait for winter. We're not too far apart.

We'll thanks I'd love to swing up but the only reason I say winter is Ill have a little more time on my hands do to no day light and will need a good reason to get out of the house come the dead of winter ,as well as I can c that baby in operation

Good point CC. I read you loud and clear. As of right now, it's a pile of....parts. But there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

My truck is finally fixed, so I now can open up the 111...again. First course of action is the firepot, and bricks. Tomorrow I'll be laying out the parts, and re-examine the bricks. If I can't find some replacements soon, I'll probably need to do the furnace cement, unless you guys talk me out of it. I'll dig it out tomorrow, and post some close-up pics.

Now we are talking serious fun, my Our Glenwood No 9 could use some new bricks.

I personally can't envision anyone on this forum keeping you from making that stove heat your house.

With that said, I think most would agree that you should make forms for your bricks if at all possible..............before you put her back together.

I know a lot of members have discussed "rebricking", but when I try it in the search column, all I get is "no matches found". No matter how I phrase it, I get dead ends.Does anyone remember another thread with this topic being discussed? Thanx.

here joeq try this I found it in my saved list, how much refractory cement needed to cast inside firepot , posted feb. 17 this yr. hope this helps you and good luck !!
