So I’ve had my stove for 7 years. I grew up burning wood and witnessed my father changing a door gasket maybe once or twice.
Ive replaced the rope on this stove 2-3 times now. The quality must not be the same as years gone by (surprise!)
What brands are folks having luck with?
Locally (Canada, home hardware) we have ‘Imperial’ brand rope door gasket. It’s white. Comes with a little bottle of glue.
This time around the gasket has lasted 3 months. it’s fraying where it was cut and it all smooshed in and not sealing anymore. The door does not adjust at all, (unless you count the home shimming the hinges or latch with washers which should not be required)
This particular one calls for a 3/8 rope.
Its on my Elmira Fireview cook stove, which has been an excellent stove, besides the replacement gasket! Which is likely my fault.....
Are the grey ones (graphite impregnated) any better than the plain white fibreglass ones?
