This video was very helpful. This was the first time changing the gasket on my 3100 Quad-fire 🔥 I love. Reading the comments were a help as well.

How have you been liking your 3100? Has it been lean on the firewood? I had a Schweiss wood furnace in the basement. It was a firewood glutton, went through 4 to 5 pick-up loads per winter. Replaced it in 2012 with a 3100 on the first floor. To his credit the salesman did not try and up-sell me on a bigger one, but the firebox was too small so I replaced it with the 5700 step top the next year. What an efficient machine! Now I only go through about two pick-up loads per year. But the salesman was right about going too big. Sometimes I struggle to keep parts of the house below 85 degrees. But I'm used to it, and homemade bread rises super fast. 😂

I replaced my door gasket about 3 weeks ago. To scrape off the old cement I used a punch with a diameter that matched the gasket groove in the door. I gently tapped it with a hammer along the groove. Then finished with a small wire wheel on my drill.

One of those things that can easily be overlooked but makes a huge difference in efficiency! The small wire wheel is a good idea, all the ones I have are too big, I’ll have to get a small one for next time! Thanks for watching!

Really appreciate the video, thank you. Getting ready to do it here 👍

[@stannelson2582]

Good video of a job that we all can do and should pay attention to get the most out of our stoves!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Absolutely Stan! Is easily overlooked but simple enough to do!

[@patrickmaguire9784]

Great right to the point video thank you

[@DudeRanchDIY]

You're welcome!

I just replaced my gasket not to long ago, just a thought I used a wire wheel on my cordless drill and it cleaned everything off and it didn't take long at all I have done it a few times over the years and works great just a idea

[@DudeRanchDIY]

‘Tis the season!! A few have mentioned the small wire wheel! All of mine are too big but I will definitely give that a try next time! Thanks for watching Larry!

[@as17ns22]

Since you said we could leave comments questions or concerns in the comments section below, I just wanted to say that I am concerned. Thanks.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

I appreciate your concern

The Rutland package recommends dampen both door and gasket prior to installing into door wi

Thanks Travis! It’s been keeping us nice and warm!

[@theforestpassage7344]

I had to grind mine out when I did it! It was like mortar.

[@DudeRanchDIY]

It can be really tough!!

[@guerrydotson3213]

Too funny I did same to mine Sunday!!!! Quad rules....

[@DudeRanchDIY]

How’d I do? Anything you would do differently since you’re a seasoned veteran??

[@savvy1803]

A wire wheel on your cordless drill will get it all and in half the time ... cheers good video .

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Great idea, I’ll have to try that next time!! Thanks for watching!

Jake: We have two wood stoves at the wood yard similar to yours. I could not tell if your glass was smoked-up or was frosted? We have clear, so we used Baking soda & toothpaste with a buffing wheel. On the 12th we start letting most of the part time sub-contractors take off for the Holidays. Some, for family & friends, but most to south Mississippi to hunt feral hogs. I will be smoking a Hind Quarter myself, for Xmas day. Thumbs up, catch you on the one!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Hey Howard, my glass was just a bit dirty, I use an old sponge and some ammonia and it cleans right up! Smoked hog sounds great! I’ve always wanted to go feral hog hunting!!! Enjoy the holiday!

[@grahamfamilyadventure]

Thank you!!!!

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Happy to help!

[@mikeadams2339]

You just change on a as needed ?

[@DudeRanchDIY]

Pretty much! Over time it breaks down and flattens out allowing air in, once that happens, time to replace!

[@jerryanderson7343]

I would never cut it to the old length shit shrinks put the dam thing in a cut it

[@jerryanderson7343]

Use common since sorry

[@iwin1833]

Great advice for poor people that actually use wood stoves. Down here in MAR - A - LAGO only we only use central heating and cooling. 😅😅😅😅 14:32
