Ripeng30 Pcs Insulating Fire Brick 3200F Rated Wood Stove Fire Bricks for Fireplaces Blacksmith Forges Heat Oven Kilns Insulation Block for Metal Clay Firing, Jewelry Soldering (9 x 4.5 x 1.25 Inch)

My deepest apologies to the driver. I have never had a package delivered inside my porch. The package was delivered on time. And in good condition.

I know shipping is a separate matter from product quality, but there were only a couple of bricks out of the thirty that weren’t smashed, so I couldn’t use them to determine their quality.These were thin, very porous, lightweight and fragile. These are not for oven floors. They do not have a smooth surface. They look like pumice. They’re just insulating bricks to be used with something else covering them.Amazon let me return them free and gave me a full refund. Love that!The box was packed very loosely and was crushed from every angle, with cups of powder leaking from the corners.

I ordered five boxes of these bricks to line my outdoor fireplace. I was a bit skeptical about ordering them due to all of the people who received broken bricks. Of 150 bricks, only one was broken in half and was still usable, one had a chpped corner and was still usable. The bricks are light, easy to cut and easy to work with. Inititial impressions are very positive. Hopefully they will hold up long term,

The recommended replacement bricks by the manufacturer of our wood stove was more than double the cost of these, and for less number (18 for $240). These replacement bricks have a higher temperature rating and after a week's worth of wood burning, surprisingly no burn marks as was the issue with the original bricks (I do expect discoloration at some point though).I'd give these 5 stars had it not been for the packaging, which was simply a cardboard box with a thin layer of bubble wrap between layers of bricks, much of which had already lost it's air bubble protection. Hence, three bricks were broken. I'm sure part of the issue with broken bricks lies with the shipping/delivery folks. I think if the manufacturer repackaged these in a solid wood crate, they'd have many more happy customers. Even with the broken brick issue, I'd buy these again.

I’m so glad that I changed the old bricks didn’t realize the bricks were so disintegrated easy to cut with old hand saw the bricks have held up well in wood stove highly recommend this item

I gave 2 stars just for effort. these are brittle as can be, don't hold up against much of anything.

30 for 30 on good bricks. I was expecting 5 to 12 to be broken. They must have improved the packaging, or the reports for the broken ones were the 3/4" bricks. These are 1-1/4.

I liked the fact that 18 out of the 30 bricks were intact. I didn't like that 12 out of the 30 are broken when opened up. I think there are enough that I can affect the repairs in my fireplace, however, I ordered the 30 to have extras for later. now I won't. A partial refund would be nice.
