They're called "radiants" around here.

The proper term is "Deadly Carbon Monoxide Generator Blocks".

The Tractor Supply near me gets a pallet of stove bricks every winter, and apparently HD and Lowes occasionally carry them too.

I had to replace a few stove bricks just a few weeks back.  TS hooked me up.  The bricks themselves felt a little "eh" compared to the ones I was removing, but I guess time will tell.
