Loxton - Churchill 5kW mk1 Rear Brick Set (Pair)

This rear brick pair fits the Loxton and Churchill 5kW stove, Mk1 model, built before August 2012, and Eurostove's stock records confirm it as two identical rear bricks weighing approximately 4kg together — the same rear brick used across the 5kW, 6kW and 8kW Mk1 range. The two bricks line the back wall of the firebox, forming part of the insulating layer between the fire and the rear of the stove body. Like the rest of the firebox lining, rear bricks protect the steel or cast iron casing from direct flame contact and help the stove hold a higher, more efficient operating temperature by reflecting heat forward into the fire rather than letting it escape through the back panel. Over time, ordinary heat-cycling causes bricks to crack, chip or wear thin, and once that wear is visible it's worth replacing them rather than continuing to run the stove — a gap in the rear lining lets flame reach the body directly, which can cause overheating and shorten the life of the appliance. Firebox dimensions are specific to each stove model and, in many cases, to each mark or build date of that model, which is why this pair is matched precisely to the pre-August 2012 5kW Mk1 Loxton/Churchill build rather than sold as a generic fit. If you're not certain which mark your stove is, the data plate on the appliance will confirm it, or Eurostove can help you check before you order to avoid getting the wrong size.
