Somerton mk2 Rear Brick Set (Pair)

This rear brick pair fits the Somerton II stove, matching the V1 build produced between October 2013 and March 2014. Eurostove's stock records confirm it as an upper and a lower rear brick supplied together, weighing approximately 1kg. The two bricks line the back wall of the firebox, sitting between the fire and the rear of the stove body. Rear bricks form part of the protective lining that keeps flame away from direct contact with the steel or cast iron casing, and they reflect heat forward into the firebox rather than letting it escape through the back panel, which helps the stove run at a more efficient temperature. Ordinary use gradually wears bricks down through repeated heating and cooling, causing cracks, chips or thinning over time, and once that wear is visible it's worth replacing the pair rather than continuing to use the stove with a compromised rear lining — a gap here lets flame reach the body directly, which can lead to overheating and reduce the working life of the appliance. Because firebox dimensions are specific to each stove model, and can even vary between different production runs of the same model, this pair is matched precisely to the Somerton II V1 build from October 2013 to March 2014 rather than being sold as a one-size-fits-all part. If you're not certain whether your stove matches this build and date range, check the data plate or ask Eurostove to confirm before ordering.
