1" fire rope. Don't stretch it thin, especially in the corners.  Regular silicone will work to make it stick if it's only behind the rope..if you choose to coat the face of it for a tighter seal you'll need high temp silicone. Nuflex brand- I don't have the # in front of me.
On the MF units I always leave the rope exposed but some guys like to coat it. 7' will do the fire box door. 10' to do both it and ashpan.

When I built the waste oil boiler I just used red permatex in caulk tubes.
