Can I replace the gasket without disassembling the stove ? I did the dollar test and the dollar is loose in the middle of the damper. Thanks.
 
On the encore you can access it by removing the flue collar but it's tricky. Have you explored that possibility?
 
You can do this from the flue coller.. but its difficult to clean everything up properly

You can take the top off of the stove its pretty simple. its 2 nuts that hold in in from underneath the pan head in the grove where the griddle goes is the 3rd..

I did a how to thread on my rebuild last year.. with pictures you can look it up.. Id pull the damper housing and install new gaskets on both
