I moved into a rental property with a Fisher Insert in place. When I opened the stove up - I saw about half of the rope gasket missing. Then I started to do research before just blindly replacing it, and found that most of the Fisher stoves are manufactured to not have a gasket. I wanted to check with a fisher person before I yanked it off. I'm assuming if its not supposed to be there, it is probably impeding the seal. Pictures below -

Opened with door 'gasket' installed.
