When we had the stove/chimney cleaned last year, the cleaning guy said we needed a new door gasket. This is a smallish welded steel stove by Country (now part...
What size gasket material does your instruction manual say to use and what is their procedure for replacing it? This stuff is a "wear item" and needs to be...
... The gasket should not be in tension. Here is an article from woodheat.org: "If in doubt about what size and density to use, remove the door and take it to...
Like Chris says it is a consumable item. So when you go get one get two. They ain't never going down in price and the part always seems to fail right in the...
The instruction manual's entire write-up on the gasket is this: "Periodically check gasket to make sure it is not over-compressed. If compressed, replace with...
I have a wood burning insert in my lower level and now considering a pellet stove on the main floor. Apparently my bride has been harboring some pent up...
... We're firing it now. It's going to be warm enough today that we don't need to, but we figured we want to do this BEFORE we need to! How often do these...
Pellet stoves have an ash drawer so emptying is usually a simple enough procedure. If you're careful there should be little to no mess. When loading pellets...

Anyone having difficulty drying wood this summer. Here in southern NY, it rained almost every day through May and June. So far, my medium sized sticks are...
I feel for you but our summer has been pretty wood drying friendly here. We are actually a bit behind on rain for the last month or so. But then I have at...
Yes, Sam, it has been raining here [Eastern Ontario] almost every day for the past few weeks, until today. Then again, we were whining about no rain before...
Wow, thanks for that link, Charles. I've been thinking about building a garden shed out of the copius "spare" stone on our property, but am now thinking that...
I'm OK, because I built a covered wood drying rack. So far it's working quite well, at least for the soft woods. My freshly cut oak may not be ready until the...

Some stoves are easy to clean and don't make much of a mess. Other stoves are a bear to clean and are impossible to avoid a mess on the hearth pad around the...
