Fireback

A cast plate that protects the firebox wall — one of the few things here with no upkeep at all.

What is Fireback?

Stands against the rear of the firebox, radiating heat forward while shielding the masonry that takes the most thermal load. Decades of service and nothing to maintain. The one rule is that it goes in front of sound brick, never over existing damage.
