Danny , good video. I really liked the way you just DID NOT hurry with it. I have seen people just rush . You cleaned and took your time to do the best job. This I why I think you and Wanda are so COOL. GOD'S LOVE and JOY.
Nice meticulous job Danny. Ryan just bought a new gasket for his new place we need to get to "it's on the list" Changed mine this fall. Must be contagious!
We had to do this last week but ours had a really bad build up of old glue. Had to chisel it out all the way around where the gasket goes. Previous owner of the stove did a sloppy job of changing the gasket. You did a bang up job as I expected. Thank you..
Danny good job explaining how to do..I like the way you explain things very basic and I can follow it and could do if I had too..Thanks again God Bless
Thank you for the walk-through! Good looking out for us :) I have actually used some hi-temp gasket maker & some cotton rope on our Franklin potbelly stove just after hurricane Fredrick came through here. It worked (good enough) until we could get a proper replacement done.
Love the way you call it wood heater over here in uk there all fancy stoves for posh people but love the stoves you have over their I have a boxwood but the one I have is much better than the vogelzang every part of the stove come sealed it is a great stove gonna be my first winter with it next year
Good job Danny, just had to do mine too. Had some old glue but it had been opened and wasn't any good...I will now keep a unopened one on hand just in case...
Is there a difference between the gasket used for woodburning stoves and oil burning stoves? Can i use gaskets made for wood burning stoves, for an oil burning fireplace?
Good info. One short cut if you have or have access to muriatic acid it will dissolve the rust in a hurry. It can also pit the door if you allow it to stay on too long so just put it on , scrub a little and rinse. That will give you bare metal. Careful of the fumes too.
What happens w/o the gasket in place? Does smoke come out the wrong way, or too much air get in and burn the fuel more quickly? Just thinking about your last statement with a live changing event - does not having a gasket render it unusable, or just less efficient?
J&J Acres- One more problem- you can get sparks escaping through the unsealed gap between the door and the stove- bad thing, that. I had it happen to me last winter- good thing I keep a fire extinguisher near the wood stove, or my place could have burned down.
Hi From Portugal. I was wondering if you put a gasket around the top of your stove also, under the top plate and also on the removable circular pan stands.
i have a older wood stove like this one with out the rope seal . i make my own seal with cheep old aluminium foil works good .if it gets use up take it off and put a new bit on the door . iv done it for year no meager problems works for me just fine . have a safe winter every one .
Very good, simple yet important instruction. Yes, it is one that I am familiar with from my youth. Needed to be reminded though. Ya know what.... I like your usage of the term "life changing event". I have recently become disgusted with the overuse of "SHTF". There are always life changing events. Just a part of life. All these "SHTF" people don't realize it but they are not only living in fear but helping to propagate it.
Thanks for this. I don't have a wood stove. Sure wish I did. But, my best friend does that lives closer to the city. I will tell her about this. She has only lived in her house 2 years. It came with a wood stove. If something happens and she uses it all the time, this is need to know info! Who knows how long the gasket that is in it now has been there. The two winters we had before she moved in that house were brutal. So, I bet the previous owner used it all winter and then some.
Nice job on the install. Gaskets for a wood heater are nice to have but if they fall/burn off and you cant replace it, its not a big deal. The draft sends the smoke up the flue anyway. Hell half your old cabins in Alaska havent had functioning gaskets in years. Way down the list of SHTF items to worry with. A battery powered cm detector is needed regardless
