How many seasons can I expect to get outa my door gasket before it's time to replace it? How long did YOU go, before doing so?

BrotherBart said:3.216 seasons. If you start using the stove in September of the first season you will need to change the gasket on November the 12th of the fourth season.

You seem well versed in mathematical computations so I am wondering if you can help me out so I make sure I do not go past the optimal gasket changing time here. My math. skills are a bit rusty and I simply do not understand what the numbers mean that come after the period that follows the 3. Is that like the starting of a new sentence or something so one can expect to have a gasket last 216 seasons if one should live that long??? or do those numbers represent a secret code only seasoned wood burners are privy to?
Then one has to wonder what the 3 means....
What happens if you start using the stove in Sept. of your first year and in October in the second year and you skip a season due to global warming and then on the fourth season you start up in June? ..
.... :gulp:

With rusty math skills it is safer to just go ahead and change it every year. :smirk: Even if you don't use the stove.

north of 60 said:By the way, I am on my original door gasket and still does good. Also lots of door adjustment left. On my Napoleon I changed it mid season 1st year and sold it in the second year after changing the upper baffle boards to brick the second time. Hope this helps.
Cheers
