Gasket Replacement
Door and glass gaskets need to be replaced on an annual basis to ensure that the stove remains airtight.
Failure of the door or glass gaskets will allow additional air to enter the stove and drastically decrease the
burn time of your fuel.
To check for gasket failure, start a fire in the stove. Once you have a well established fire, damper the
stove down. Next take a lit match and direct it along the edge of the door and stove. Do the same along
the inside edge of the door and glass. If you notice the flame from the match being drawn to the gap, there
is an air leak in the gasket and it needs to be replaced.
Door Gasket.
To replace the door gasket,
simply remove the door and lay it face down on a
clean soft surface, such as a towel. Find the
ends of the gasket and pull it off. Take a
screwdriver and remove excess gasket glue from
the channel. Take new stove gasket cement
(available at your local woodstove retailer or
hardware store) and lay a medium to heavy bead
around the gasket channel. Take the new door
gasket (also available at your local woodstove
retailer or hardware store) and lay it in the
channel. Cut off any excess gasket rope.
Reattach door and seal. Leave the door closed
until the gasket cement dries.

Glass Gasket.
To replace the glass gasket,
remove the glass retaining clips along the inside
of the stove door. Remove the glass. Remove
the old gasket by pulling it off. Take the new
gasket (available at your local woodstove dealer)
and peel off the protective paper. Place the new
gasket around the edge of the glass. Trim off any
excess gasket. Replace glass and clips.
