I can only go from my 5kw stove, fire bricks are 25mm thick, you might need thicker for a more powerful stove? Last few years I have cast mine from refractory - seams to last better - but what are the common thicknesses for vermiculite sheet I don't know?

 

the back one is the width of the stove (less a bit so it fits in) with 45 degree uprights. The side walls have similar 45 degree chamfers and that locks the back and side in place. Side walls are held in at the front with a clip - if yours has the same you should be able to work out how long that needs to be, measure from the edge of the clip to the back wall and take off a bit. Since there is a 45 degree chamfer both back and edge corners can measure right into the corner. Height is about 6", yours might need to be more, but mine are about 2/3 of the height of the fire box.

 

You might use that as guide, can't go far wrong so long as the walls have the right thickness of insulation on them the shape doesn't matter too much.

 

Chimney.. insulated pretty much just means the flu gasses don't cool as much, there is less soot and a bit for the stove efficiency.

 

 

Was temped to take out all the punctuation just for fun.

It's either a Villager or a pre bankruptcy yeoman,  I think the latter.  Send your pics to Mike at Arada, they are the villager parent company. They do have a direct sales facility for spares but you will get hit with carriage. Doing it though your local Arada dealer then providing they buy a fair wedge of stoves then there would be no carriage.  I cover Northants, Bucks and parts of Leics, Beds, Oxon, and Warwickshire.  The hinges look like Yeoman, think they protrude to far for Villager.  That being the case the name was bought by Stovax but parts for pre bankruptcy models are now non existent,  but if they can identify it you should be able to get bricks from specialist brick suppliers . Given sizes or templates then I could organise if needed. The bricks are vermiculite usually and 20 or 25mm thick, they can be cut with a decent wood saw so previous advice about getting a sheet of vermiculite and cutting your own is sound.  On the install side the minimum distance to combustibles from a single skin pipe is x3 its diameter, so 450mm if it's a 150mm pipe.  MCC on twin walls depends on the quality,  the best Poujoulst  TI are 50mm, the worst at least twice that.

.. If you can use this advice and identify the stove... before you install the bricks (well, put them in first and check the are right), before you put a fire in, measure the dimensions then say, Alycidon can make them up next time or you can cut your own from that pattern
