Looks good. I see you did that right after getting the stove....good foresight Dex.
I have some of that flat hopper gasket too, but it's so coarse, I thought the nice smooth Lytherm would do a better job of sealing, since there is no weight really compressing it. So far so good.
Yep. Within the 1st few burns.
The Lytherm is softer. But the flat gasket is a little thicker and the Meeco's brand is kinda soft and its got an impression where its sat now for so long. I noticed a difference even after only having a few fires before I installed it. Any leak that you can reduce or eliminate, is more air for combustion I have installed a burn pot gasket on my Fahrenheit also. The burn pot on it, consists of 6 different pieces to make a whole unit (confusion?) So there are a few gaps and leaks. It helped it tremendously.
I have a couple sheets of Lytherm. So when these fail, I will try it and compare. But something is better than nothing
