Good product

Good product, delivered reasonably fast which was great. I only received 36 firebricks instead of the 40 required and unfortunately ive followed this up with no answer or response twice. Its a small thing but I have a gap on the bbq floor now with no protection. Wouldnt complaint if it didnt cost as much as it did
