The chamber where the fire actually burns.

All glossary terms

What is Firebox?

The brick or refractory-panel-lined chamber that contains the fire. Cracked refractory panels are a fire-safety code violation — heat can transfer to combustible framing behind. Panels must be in-spec for the fireplace make/model.
