Wood Stove Gaskets and Gasket Adhesives
A deteriorating wood stove gasket can lead to a loss of stove efficiency and can lead to a reduction in quality of your home's air, by leaking both heat and combustion gases from the combustion chamber. Replacing your wood stove door gasket is easy! Gasket material comes in a variety of diameters, and you must choose both the right size of gasket rope and the appropriate gasket adhesive for your model of stove. Gaskets are made from graphite-impregnated fiberglass and come in both white and black, allowing them to match the finish of nearly any wood stove.

Is there an easy way to remove worn gasket in the firebox without scraping, sanding, or sandblasting?
1 Answer
Typically a worn gasket is removed using a flat head screwdriver or pliers, and, yes, scraping is necessary (usually with the flat heat screwdriver) to remove the excess cement.

What can I use to seal up gaps around the perimeter, under my wood cook stovetop, where it meets the base?
1 Answer
An item such as refractory cement may work for this application, however, I would consult the manufacturer of your wood stove for further recommendations.

Can gasket be used on the outside of the box at the connection of the stove pipe to seal a gap rather than use silicone?
1 Answer
If double wall black stovepipe is being used, you will want to install the stovetop adapter on the stove flue collar and this wouldn't require any sealant. Actually, sealant isn't typically recommended or required for any of the interior stovepipe run. If sealant is used, you should use furnace cement and should not use a silicone based sealant as these products typically won't withstand the surface temperatures reached with a wood stove outside of a few high temperature silicone based products rated up to 7-800 degrees F. While the use of gasket rope wouldn't be necessary for the application in question, you'd want to use gasket-specific adhesive or gasket cement,

The metal plate on the back of my firebox is cracked. I used furnace cement, but it eventually falls out. Would gasket material work better to keep it from falling out?
1 Answer
No, gasket is usually used only to seal the door on a wood stove and not the internal backing components.

Do you sell 7/8 fiberglass wood stove gasket in 8 foot lengths?
1 Answer
We do not sell 7/8" in 8 foot lengths. The closest we would have would be the Rutland Fiberglass Grapho-Glas Stove Gasket Rope - 64 Inch x 7/8 Inch.

Trying to find the correct size door gasket for a Trailblazer 1300 wood stove. Any help would be appreciated
1 Answer
This stove is not manufactured by a company we offer products for. I recommend contacting this manufacturer to locate the correct size gasket. Once this information is confirmed, we do offer universal gasket rope that may be used with any wood stove.

I have a GTI Model 6000 GDV-HSI serial # GCN 27667 gas fireplace insert. The red gasket around the glass has deteriorated and fallen off.
Do you have anything that will replace this seal? Thanks!
1 Answer
Researching this model number, it seems that they might be a product of Heat N Glo. You would need to contact the manufacturer directly for replacements at 1-800-927-6841.
