Hi - new here...been burning wood for many years since the 70s....All nighters, Better n Bens , Consolidated Northwest ... until discovering the Jotul Firelight 12 in 1998 and have style with that ever since , greatstove , top load... have had to over time learn to work with it but keeps the house nice no warm and Syracuse area gets some very cold days!
I have started to dig deeper on undertanding the mechanics better and found this forum uler informative news helpful - knowledge of this stove no older cats in general seem to be fading from dealer memories so figured bet to get to know owners who care and know the idiosyncrasies ...e.g. Stuck air flow levers, cracked rear burn plates , ash door gasket fun..etc...
My newest adventure : just had a chimney sweep do a end of Jan cleaning ...but right after he left started small fire to ease into a new cat and smoke begin seeping out the smoke outlet...appears smoke outlet gasket was dangling on bottom of smoke outlet .....so spend last night on backup oil..which We never do!
So off to figure it out today: question ..this is a first for me...do I need to order a specific Jotul part 12 , 200028 ..1/8 SA smoke outlet gasket ? Will anything else suffice? Doe it get cemented into place? If so appreciate any tips as I fear I will be on my own.....thanks
