I have an old fisher stove with double doors on the front. Are these stoves supposed to have a gasket in the groove behind the doors or just a tight metal seal? Sorry for the dumb question I have heard conflicting reports.
If you can seal it with a Ruttland gasket kit that only costs about $5 to $7 around here at a home improvement center, I would do it. That's what I do every other year with my Federal Airtight stove that has double doors on the front. opcorn:I have an old fisher stove with double doors on the front.

:yourock: Take a shot at those gasket kits. I remove the doors (they lift off) apply the cement, apply the rope and cut it to length, one for each door, pressing it into place. Then when you close the doors tight and let them sit that way for awhile, the rope molds itself the surface and sets the seal.We have a pretty large, double door Fisher at our hunting camp. We bought the stove used, but excellent, and there was no gasket. A few years later my brother fit (asbestos rope?) gaskets, and its now much easier to regulate the draft. Its a great stove!
We had a stainless tank made, and it fits on on the rear of the stove. The top is open, and it has a valve at the bottom. This is our sorce of hot water, and it protects the wall from radiant heat.
...yeah, its a pretty modest place, but we do have cold running water and electricity.
Can anyone tell me if a Fisher Papa
Bear can be retrofitted with a catalytic combuster. Mine did not have one when new and a dealer who advertises a combuster for Fisher's said if it didn't come with a combuster one cannot be installed.
Any help ?
Thanx,
