Warm Morning VR50MA B Propane Heater Question

My Warm Morning Ceramic Brick inserts have been previously repaired with some form of ceramic glue. Some of the inserts have come off their respective shelf/ledge and now rest on the burner.

I would like to access the brick inserts and place them back on their shelf and glue the bricks that may currently have split or otherwise come apart.

Is there a schematic or manual for this and what glue would have been used? (A repairman previously did this service on this stove when my father was owner of this house. I have no notes as to how it was done).

Do you know of any available replacement bricks?

    STOP Using that appliance!

    I am not currently using the appliance because of the way the ceramic bricks are oriented. Is your comment in reference to not using this because of the way the ceramic elements are not in the proper location on their shelves over the burner tube, or is there an overall design issue with Warm Morning that is unsafe?

    The question is… is it vented? If it's a vented heater — outside exhaust — parts are available on the 'net, though you'll have to do some looking.

    If it's the unvented variety (I can't find a clear answer) — then as @pecmsg said, stop using it. They make carbon monoxide in their exhaust. Maybe not enough to kill you, but enough to not be very good for you.

    That is a vented appliance with standard gas space heater application. Parts are hard to come by. Go on the internet and look around for "Warm Morning Gas Space Heater parts". What is the Model and Serial number?

    Yes, the appliance is vented. It is a propane model, model number VR50MA(B), Serial number: 30831

    It's not an appliance we'd run on auto all night, but to take the chill out of the cabin before end of night (then off) and first thing in the morning. So, we are already overly careful with this appliance.
