Question
is there a product that you can use to repair the cracks in the refractory panels on a wood burning fire place insert? if so where can you get this product in cincinnati,ohio

Answer
Hello Robert, you should 1st try to find original replacement panels, if you can't then do a Google Search for refractory panels in your area (local wood stove stores and so on), they are very easy to cut and install, most fireplaces have brackets that hold them on top, remove them, tip the panels out and use them as a template (easy to cut with a hand saw) and replace in reverse order.
Happy New Year
