Hi all and thanks for all useful info I have read on site.
I recently purchased a home in middle of last heating season that has a vermont castings dutchwest model 2461 in it. I am questioning how tight of seal needs to be for damper/bypass. It seemed to me that if I looked up at bypass after closed that flames were still going up into flue. Also how would I know if catalyst was not working properly. Upon examining it I see nothing wrong it looks to be clean and free from any cracks. Does anyone sell a gasket kit that will cover all the gasketed area? Thank you in advanced
