Gaskets are an integral part of most modern pellet stoves. They ensure that pieces of the stove that open and close, such as doors, ash pans, and dampers, remain airtight. A worn out gasket will allow excess air into your stove, which will cause over-firing. Over-firing can damage your stove over time, and will cause you to burn quickly through fuel.
Gaskets are braided fiberglass cords that are glued in place to form an airtight seal on your wood stove. It is important that you choose the right type, width, and length when replacing your gasket. Gaskets come in a variety of widths, and can be either flat or rounded. Some gaskets come with adhesive pre-applied, although for most you will need to purchase gasket cement separately. When replacing a wood stove gasket, allow the cement to cure for 24 hours before using your stove.
