Somerton mk2 Side Brick Set (Pair)

This side 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 a matched left and right side brick, weighing approximately 2kg together. One brick sits against each side wall of the firebox, forming part of the lining between the fire and the stove's outer casing. Side bricks protect the steel or cast iron body from direct flame contact and reflect heat back into the firebox rather than letting it dissipate through the sides, helping the stove reach and hold a more efficient burning temperature. Because they're close to the door and get handled indirectly whenever fuel is loaded or the fire is tended, side bricks can pick up chips and knocks in addition to ordinary heat-related wear, and cracking or crumbling is a normal sign that replacement is due. Leaving a badly worn side brick in place allows flame to reach the stove body directly, which over time can cause overheating and shorten the appliance's working life, so replacing the pair once damage appears is a sensible piece of routine maintenance. Firebox dimensions vary between stove models and between different production builds of the same model, which is why this pair is matched specifically to the Somerton II V1 build (October 2013 to March 2014) rather than sold as a universal fit. Check your stove's data plate, or contact Eurostove, if you're unsure whether this matches your build before ordering.
