wood stove question

[twodogs]

I just purchased a used wood stove for my family's camp. It is a warnock hersey (Canadian) stove. I believe the company is out of business. The stove appears to be in great shape, and rarely used.

I noticed inside the firebox some insulating material. It appears to be asbestos panels, which were then covered with firebrick. I was thinking of pulling the panels & replacing them with thicker firebrick.

Does anyone have any knowledge or thoughts on the matter? Thanks in advance!

I think you'll find Warnock-Hersey is/was the certifying agency that tests wood stoves for the Canadian market.

I believe you are correct. I am researching & learning.
