The product, in the report: Heatilator st42a see through fireplace
In a brand new fireplace by Heatilator the hearth refractory has cracked and broken twice now, going on my third one. The second one lasted one month.
UPDATED ON 1/24/2024: [There has not been any harm to a person or property at this time. The risk however is great as I just confirmed from the manufacturer that they have no engineering specs on the Hearth Refractory that keeps failing. There is no heat rating, they do not have that information. IE fire bricks have rating like 2000 degrees or 2500 degrees. They are going to burn down some ones house.]
