Do you think that I need firebricks?

Any help would be great.

It burns well and seems to be working fine.

If it's not broke, don't fix it

But I've noticed a crack in the back metal grate

On the other hand, when it's broke, probably best to get it repaired (or replaced)

Don't know what stove that is but most tend to need fire bricks. Post a link to your video on the woodburing section of the Green Living Forum

They have quite a few knowledgeable members who maybe able to help you identify the make/model of stove you have,

For your stove to retain as much heat as possible within the firebox (to then radiate into your room), you will need firebricks. These basically line the firebox to offer insulation and slow down the heat transfer into the body of the burner itself.
