What's the reason that a firebox door needs a Gasket, anyway? Shutting the door, keep the sparks and flames out of the room, gasket or not, right?
Or is it really about any gas (fumes) that could escape into the house?
Once you've set me straight on the value of a door gasket, .........please include any historical info on how often YOU have changed YOUR gasket. (thanks).
I know about the "dollar bill" test, although I confess that I haven't attempted that yet. Our stove was only burned for 4 months so far, and I don't see the gasket hanging off the door anywhere, so it's most likely ok.
I WILL do "the dollar bill test" though (points his finger at himself for emphasis)!
