How to heat cure stove cement other than starting a fire?

[vatmark]

I was done using my stove. Figured now would be a good time to replace the front door gasket. Didn't realize heat curing the cement was needed. Is there any way to heat cure it without actually starting a fire? Will a blow dryer provide enough heat?

Open the doors and windows and bake it at night when outside temps are lower. Or use RTV. High temp RTV is often used these days to cement door gaskets. It air cures.

It was Rutland stove cement and it says to be sure to heat cure within 30 days.

looks like Sat-Mon nights will be cold enough for a fire, especially Sunday.

Guess we are having another fire. LOL Had the stove all cleaned up.
