No to thin-set, bond will fail during the very first fire...sand fireclay mix is good.

Re: how to fix uneven hearth
A little update, removed the bricks today. Sunglasses are for size comparison! The brick on the right isnt broken, well a piece of it is, but it was cut to go around the gas burner in the oven. The bricks are about 1-7/16" thick now.
I am going to get some 9x4.5x1.25" firebrick splits tomorrow and replace them. Charlie, the person that manufactured the oven told me to use thin set to replace the bricks. Can I just use fireclay sand mix dry instead?

Re: how to fix uneven hearth
The bricks seem rather large, like 14x27. Where would I go about purchasing something like that? Maybe I should call the manufacturer.

Up to you but yeah...may as well replace them. Either way, you will have to get things level after you take the floor up.

Re: how to fix uneven hearth
It actually seems like I can remove the 4 bricks and put new ones in.

Re: how to fix uneven hearth
Pull up the floor tile and re-level it with a dry fireclay/sand mix. Forget about some kind of magical self-leveling product you can apply to the surface...nothing like that will work.
