Loxton / Churchill 6kW mk1 Base Brick Set

This base brick set fits the Loxton and Churchill 6kW stove, Mk1 model, built before August 2012. Eurostove's stock records confirm it as three bricks — one rear-shaped base brick and two side-shaped base bricks — weighing approximately 3kg together. These bricks sit in the floor of the firebox, directly beneath the fire, making them one of the most heavily used parts of the firebox lining. Base bricks take more punishment than most other firebox bricks: they carry the direct weight of logs and fuel, absorb knocks from pokers and riddling tools, and sit under the most intense and sustained heat in the stove. As a result, they're often among the first bricks in a firebox to crack or wear thin, and once that happens it matters more than wear elsewhere, since a worn base brick can expose the steel or cast iron floor of the stove to direct flame. That risks overheating and long-term damage to the appliance, so replacing base bricks as soon as damage is visible is a genuine maintenance task rather than a cosmetic one. Because firebox dimensions are specific to each stove output and build, this set is matched to the pre-August 2012 6kW Mk1 Loxton/Churchill build rather than the 5kW or 8kW versions or later marks of the 6kW. If you're unsure which mark and output your stove is, check the data plate or contact Eurostove before ordering to confirm the correct fit.
