How and when do you replace stove door rope? 

About to embark on my first rope change - I'm really glad I came across your video in my research for doing it, I'm now a lot more confident in getting it right first time! Thanks

Just changed the ropes for the first time. Great guide, bought one of your rope kits too. 👍 made it easy.

Thank you, this has been really useful. I would normally have only bought the manufacturer's product but you sounded so genuine when appraising the rope you developed that I decided to go for it! I would love a video which shows how to clean my one door Highlander 10. I don't really mean the glass but rather the inside. I do my best but it seems very awkward trying to get the ash from the top of the plate where the smoke goes up the chimney. I can't access it properly but maybe I'm missing some instructions. I wasn't left any by the company who installed it while I was away on holiday. Thanks again for this video; I've bookmarked it!

To prevent siezing threads in these vulnerable places, a smear of copper anti-sieze on the threads will do the business and make unscrewing much less hit and miss...

It's usually easier for the general public to ask the chimney sweep to service the stove at the same time we clean the flue,if using the silicone its best to leave it a while to dry before you fire it up,Another great video,as part of the service I personally just loosen and nip back up the screws for the glass to stop them seizing

Thxs. Yet another informative and simple vid to follow.

Thanks very much for a very clear instructive video.. 👏👏👍

Thank you. That was informative and entertaining ❤️

Great video. Im about to do mine as its burning too fast. Ive ordered the rope sets from the manufacturer (hunter) and on the look out for glue. Possibly a wire brush attachment for the drill like yours too. Ill check the links in the description box before i go on the lookout for said items. Thanks again for your advice 😊

Thanks, this was super helpful!

Thanks for that - just the kind of helpful walk around I needed before doing the door on MIL's little Aga. I used Cal Super Seal, which I was slightly surprised to see was cream-coloured as opposed to the black you used. It was also quite runny, despite a damn good shaking (as per the bottle). Presumably it was okay. I just expected it to be more like a paste. Seems to have done the trick though so far. I shall be keeping a beady eye on it.

Just what i was lookin for.... great video thanks very much... and gob bless

Thanks for the great job very simple and easy and quick u make me saving me time and money appreciations 🇩🇰👍👌

Excellent... Great advice

Thank you- great video

informative and detailed thankyou

very detailed, thanks!

appreciate the conversation

Wow - sticking self-adhesive glass seal to the metal of the door was eye opening for me. I thought the sticky side went on to the glass.

Great video .. lash it up the dining table and grind the shite ouve it !!! Love it

Great informative videos. We have a westfire uniq 17 (now westfire 44 according to one of your videos) and want to replace the door rope. We think it is 13mm, but our door doesn't appear to show any signs of glue being used at all. The rope just appears to be pressed into the groove. This is how it came from the factory, we have owned it from new. Would you recommend fitting the new rope with glue or do we just press it in as it was before?

Thanks for the very informative video, im about to renew the rope on my fire. I wonder if youcan help me please, the screws for the glass need repacing the brackets are ok but i am having trouble sourcing them. I have a fire fox 5 i have looked on line i can get them at a stupid price £13 +£13pp an horrendous price for 4 screws and brackets!! Maybe yourself or someone might just know where i can go. Thank you once again.

Hello, thanks for a great video! Does the glue need heat/a burn to cure or does it work as ordinary glue?

Hi Gabriel & community. We own a beautiful old Fisher Grandma Wood Stove. We have searched for doors that have glass but it’s hard to find. I was wondering if something like the door you are working on (10:56) May fit our stove. Not sure. I can get you the exact dimensions of the grandma doors to see if there are any to your knowledge that may fit. Question is open to the community as well.

Do you have a video and instructions/recommendations for just replacing a piece of glass? I have an Appalachian Stove that has three 6"x11"? pieces of glass in the front door. One of them has shattered or otherwise broken and needs replacing. Where do I purchase such a glass in the U.S / Ebay/ Etc..? and how do I just replace the glass? Tks

hi there, great video. im struggling to get my vision 500 to seal evenly on refining the door, whats the procedure from scratch on re fitting the door and adjusting,?once the ropes been changed. ive lost count of how many turns ive got on each adjusting hinge etc. and im now a bit confused....appreciate your advice

do you have to replace the glass seal with the door seal if the former looks completely fine.

Hi Gariel That looks like my door on my double door Hunter Herald 4 shaped glass, do you know the size diameter of the rope, I need to replace mine

Hey super informative video!!!! Where do you get the tape to wrap the end of the rope please?

Good way

If the glass can move is it a tight enough air seal to prevent smoke leakage? Got me worried now that I’ve tightened mine up (not overly tight) but have I done it tight enough for a good air seal but “not tight enough “ for ease of expansion….help!!!!!

Which glue do you use?

Do you have your own site for items like this?

Firstly...why ruin a perfectly good table by not placing cushioning/cardboard under the door. Secondly , instead of sticking the glass flat rope/gasket to the inside of the door which may not be perfectly flat and dirt free. You clean the glass and stick it directly onto the glass for a better adhesive contact. And Thirdly, when tightening the glass clips in place you place a small piece of asbestos padding or glass gasket tape the same size of the clip...between the clip and glass. This is great in allowing for any heat expansion of the clips.

How do you know if the rope is asbestos?

Hi Gabriel My Lowry 5x smells when I burn ht new pallet As well as kiln dried wood Old pallet and seasoned doesn’t smell as much Please help The stove isn’t too hot either and smells as bad but gets worse the hotter

How did you get away with using the drill in the dining room?!

Just done mine, hunter hawk 4. A word of caution, the glass rope, especially the old rope can cause skin iritation and you with bare arms ! Long sleeved shirt or overalls would be safer. Fit door immediatly after installing rope and latch closed, this will bed the rope in the sealer or glue, leave for a while then light a small fire and allow to warm slowly - job done !

How do you know if the door of the wood burning stove is leaking and how do you find where the leak is?

How were your blood sugars at the time ? Been there .. done much worse ...

Use safety glasses if don`t want get wire in your eye

Mask and goggles are a very good idea

Good video, should you wear a mask???

But don't do it on your dining room table.?
