I am looking for advice in rebuilding my Vermont intrepid 1. Having bought this stove second hand, i have found cracks and gaps in the cement holding the sides to the top and bottom. I decided to dismantle the unit to rebuild it with new cement and I am now wondering if cement alone is enough or if it also need gasket rope. Is the cement going to crack with heat? All the parts have been cleaned of all old cement and ready to reassemble. Any help would be most appreciated...
