So you changed the gasket with the fire going?
Ayuh,.... Just not runnin' Full tilt like it has been, tryin' to keep with with these Sub-Zero temps,....
I used the graphite rope, 5/8", I think,... the smaller of the 2 sizes on the bulk spool at my local hardware store,...
'n I glued it on with a tube of red Hi-temp rtv from my local Napa,...
I used my angle grinder with a wirebrush on it to clean off the ole rope, 'n furnace cement,...
Slathered the flange with the silliseal, positioned the rope where it wanted to be, lined it with suranwrap, 'n closed the door,....
By next day, most of the suranwrap residue had burnt off, 'n the job was called a Success,....
It's been a couple seasons, 'n I'm thinkin' the top, 'n bottom could benefit from the wider piece of rope I've still got,....
Maybe I'll give it a shot, when it warms up abit,....
'ell,.... Zero° would be a nice gobal warmin' heat wave, today,....
