You love your wood stove, but you hate the maintenance. Unfortunately some things are unavoidable and aren’t the easiest chore you’ll tackle on a weekend. But, replacing the gasket isn’t one of those! It’s pretty easy to replace an old, worn out gasket. Simply remove the old gasket, thoroughly clean the area of any leftover adhesive and then apply the new adhesive and gasket! It’s important to be sure that none of the old adhesive or gasket is left as it can interfere with how well the new gasket works. It’s also important to be sure that you’re getting the right size! Not all wood stoves are the same, so our high quality 5/16 wood stove gasket may not be what you need to make your wood stove operate as efficiently as it could.

Wood stoves burn more efficiently when they have a tight seal around the door and window.  The gaskets on wood stoves are what create that tight seal, but over time some of them wear down and need replaced.  Our replacement wood stove gasket is made from high quality fiberglass and is impregnated with black graphite to create a durable, but flexible gasket - even in the most abrasive of conditions. 

Check your stove's owners manual to know the exact diameter of gasket you need.

To use:
Remove old gasket. Thoroughly clean the area. Use a gasket adhesive to attach the new gasket.

Adhesive:
We recommend you purchase a gasket cement to adhere the gasket to your stove or insert. Gasket cements are used not only as the "glue" to hold the gasket in place but can also be used to seal minor cracks and pin holes in the stove body.

It is not recommended that you use a sealant as an adhesive. High temperature silicone and sealants are not meant to be used as an adhesive or to fix your stove or insert.
