How to Replace Stove Door Rope Gasket

[@mnfurbabymomma5393]

I watched a few videos before replacing the gasket on my pellet stove door, this one was the most helpful! The technique for placing the gasket worked well. Thanks!

[@EarthSense]

Wonderful to hear and happy we could help. Thanks so much!

[@sethmason2984]

Thank you for the video. Just finished mine. One helpful hint is that I used a very small rotary wire brush in a drill to remove the old silicone. Then cleaned grove with 70% alcohol. Made the job very quick.

[@EarthSense]

That's an awesome Tip Seth! Thanks so much for sharing that!

[@UtahSustainGardening]

This was the third video I have tried to watch on this subject and the only one that I finished and have confidence in. Thank you for the professionalism and the good understanding of the subject!

[@EarthSense]

Wonderful to hear that. Very glad it was helpful. It's certainly our pleasure. Any other questions or needs please let us know!

[@lindafrembes]

This video was really helpful. I watched it before attempting to replace the gasket on my Koze Baywin. Good tip about cleaning the channel as best as possible. I’m not sure I would have put as much effort into it if I didn’t see how well you cleaned this one. Thank you!

[@EarthSense]

Thank You Linda! So happy to hear the video was helpful. Any future questions or needs please let us know. Warmest Regards,

[@HopeValloney]

I love the paper/dollar bill tip! My stove was in the house that I bought, so I don’t know the previous maintenance history but felt like the seal wasn’t very tight when I closed the door. Once it cools off I’ll definitely try the paper test!

[@EarthSense]

Yes, it's the best way we have found to quickly and accurately know whether or not the gasket seal is proper. Glad it was helpful, if you need any other assistance please let us know! Thanks.

[@jonniiinferno9098]

thanks for this detailed information. You guys are great. Wife and i have been working on our pellet stove and have ordered several replacement parts from you. During this process, you guys have been very patient and helpful and have answered all our questions - much appreciated. Stove is working great now - but - we want to replace the door gasket.

[@EarthSense]

Great to hear Jonni! Very glad we have been able to be of assistance. If you need any help steering to the right gasket or have any questions please reach out. Thanks so much!

[@dizzysdoings]

I need to replace the gasket on my wood stove, and wasn't sure how to get the old sealant out. Yours was the first video that came up. You explained it very well, as well as how to put the new one on. The only thing I would disagree with is what to do with the door once you have the new gasket on. The instructions that came with mine says to close the door and let it stand for 12 hours. Then, make a small fire and gradually increase the heat. So that's what I'll be doing.

[@EarthSense]

Sounds good, glad the video was helpful for you. Sounds good on following the instructions included, keep an eye on your seal during the first few fires to ensure it is sealing tightly all the way around. Thanks again!

[@dizzysdoings]

@@EarthSense I plan to. It's supposed to warm up, so I won't need a fire like I've been needing.

[@jeanetterogers1642]

Thank you , your video was very helpful .

[@EarthSense]

So glad to hear that. If you need any other assistance just let us know. Thanks!

[@rickhorvath]

I'm guessing if my gasket is flat I'd not use a round gasket? Or is it flat due to being closed so many times? I've seen flat gaskets online.

[@EarthSense]

What you will want to look at is if your door has a groove that the gasket goes/sits into. If it goes into a groove it will be a round gasket. There are very few models that will use a flat gasket for the door seal, however there are some out there. Stove's that use a flat gasket for the door seal will not have a U-shaped groove around the door. Yes, over the years a round gasket can certainly look flat. If you know your stove make and model we can also see if we can pull up the parts guide to see what the correct replacement is for you. Happy to help, thanks!

1. Great Video!!!!! 2. I replaced my rope gasket and cleaned the area real good before installing the new gasket. About 3 month later, the rope started lifting away from the door….What is the best silicone to use ? Thanks for the great videos and help..

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us. So glad to hear the video was helpful. This is the silicone our tech team uses for rope gaskets and venting seals. We have had great success with the durability and longevity with the Nuflex brand here. Any other questions please let us know.

[@bethgibson8231]

Thanks for the great video. I have a QuadraFire Castille Pellet Stove. I cannot find in the manual the size and density of the gasket. Can you give me any information on which would fit my stove? Thank you.

[@EarthSense]

Hey Beth, glad to hear the video was helpful for you. Your Quadra-Fire Castile will use a specialty tadpole bulb gasket that acts as both the glass and door seal. The installation on your stove will be different than a traditional rope gasket. If you need help while you install just let us know. Here is a link to that gasket for reference. pellethead.com/product/quadrafire-tadpole-door-gasket-seal-5-oem/

[@jpsergano7994]

[@EarthSense]

Great suggestion JP, Thanks!

[@judyduguay7670]

Can u replace the gasket without taking off the door?

[@EarthSense]

You can, it is just easier if the door is laying down flat so the gasket can set properly. Any other questions let us know. Thanks.

[@chiwizdz]

Very helpful. Thank you SO MUCH! One suggestion: we don’t need to watch you scrape the old silicone from the entire door. Why not re-edit the video and cut out at least 80% of the scraping? Thanks again!

[@EarthSense]

Thanks David, Glad to hear it was helpful. I know the scraping is loud and lengthy - the goal was to show the entire process as we had some requests for that. I agree it could be done a bit better here and achieve the same purpose. We will make a note to revisit the video here. Thanks again, any other questions please let us know. Appreciated.

[@huttarl]

I kind of felt the same way about all the scraping. But on second thought, I realized, we have very easy ways to fast-forward or skip the scraping if we don't want to watch it, but those who do want to watch it can't put it back in if it's cut out. Maybe it's helpful to someone.

About to order my gaskets for my XXV…. I can’t seem to find any videos on replacing the ash pan door gasket. Any tips?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks Cameron. We'll add that to our list of upcoming videos to complete. Suggestions/Tips: try to make sure all fly ash is vacuumed from the area best as possible. When removing the tadpole ash pan gasket pay attention to how it is installed. Do your best to remove any left over silicone/sealant best you can before installing the new gasket. You may want/need additional high temp silicone when installing if the adhesive backing for the gasket is not holding it securely in place. Hope that is helpful, keep us posted. Thanks,

What gasket is it for Saey Hanover 1 hopper door

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us. We have not handled this model before. Did some general searches online but couldn't find a part number or size for the hopper door gasket in the manuals I found. If you can't find any other information just make notes on what the current gasket looks like, material, size, etc..

Do you have a video or info on how to install a view door tadpole self adhesive rope gasket on a Harman Advance pellet stove. Thanks

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us Frank. Unfortunately we do not have a video on the Advance door gasket (I'll add it to the list), but we can walk you through it here. The Advance will use a specialty notched tadpole gasket with peel off adhesive backing. Some folks like to put a small bead of high temp sealant behind for extra security. Just like the video here, try to scrape out any residue left behind before installing the new gasket. To Access: The Advance will have bolts on the inner door located by each notched area of the gasket. These bolts need to be taken out to access and replace the gasket. They essentially remove an inner frame bracket of the door, allowing access. Some folks will soak them down in WD40 for a bit to make them easier to remove. Pay close attention as you pull the old gasket out and install the new one the same way. Just like the video here, try not to bunch or stretch the new gasket when laying it in and let it set for at least an hour.

I have a mid 1980's Brass Flame Fireplace. What density Cord do I need for replacement?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us Darin. Tried doing some research for Brass Flame Fireplace but couldn't find anything out there online. I would suggest you measure the door groove where the gasket sits. Generally rope gasket size will be 1 up from the groove width - Ex. 1/2" Groove width = 5/8" Rope Gasket. The vast majority of rope gaskets are medium to firm density. Some are soft, and some are firm, but most are medium to firm weave. Hope that helps, thanks!

What is the proper way to clean the air wash system on a Harman Advantage 2

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us. I think your referring to the Harman Advance-2 or Harman Accentra-2 (Harman did not make an Advantage model). The Harman air wash system is a small gap on the bottom part of the firebox opening that allows some combustion air to come through and wash over the glass. You can use a can of air duster (pressurized air) to clean in that gap and clear out any ash. Other Tips: -Once you clean the glass, go back over it with a wet paper towel to remove any of the glass cleaner residue. It will stay cleaner longer. - If you are running your stove on low settings, turn it on higher settings for a short period and that will help to clear the glass. - Pellets - You will notice a major difference between pellet fuel and how clean the glass stays. Hope that was helpful, any other questions let us know. Thanks!

Hey Rob, great to hear! Unfortunately don't have a burnpot gasket replacement at this time, however it is on our list to complete.

What is the size door gasket needed for a Blaze King Royal Heir RHT 2200 Wood Stove?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us. In doing some research, the owners manual says part number 0182 is the loading door gasket for this model. It does not provide the diameter for the gasket. Various sellers show a 7/8" gasket, others show a 5/8" gasket, but none can I verify to be true to the part number replacement for the RHT 2200 model. I would suggest pulling the rope gasket out just a bit that is in your loading door and measuring the channel the gasket sits in. Generally speaking we want to have the gasket 1 size larger than the channel. Ex. 5/8" channel, 3/4" gasket. 3/4" channel, 7/8" gasket. Happy to help.

I have a few questions in regurds to this topic I have a castle serenity pellet stove And i am not at all sure on how to get the door off If you know how please advice Next for gasket cement I am asking this next question i have this tube of fire proof calk and my question is can it be used to replace the door gasket I have used in the past red rtv sealant it works just a major pain to squeeze in tight spacesesand the idea of a caulk and a caulk gun sounds so much easier your input on this please Thank you in advance

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us David, happy to assist. In looking at images of the Castle Serenity online it appear the door has small pins at the top and bottom that insert into bracket receivers on the outside of the door. The brackets appear to be welded from what I can see. Possibly see if you lift the door up if the bottom pin will come out of the receiver (Stove off and cool). We've never done technical service on this particular model, so apologies we can't guide further. If you can't door off, you can certainly replace the gasket with the door on, it will just be a bit more challenging. As for the sealant, as long as it is high temperature rated you are good to use it. Some folks use gasket cement, others will use a high temp silicone with a caulk gun. Generally we do the latter for our service and maintenance calls. The high temp silicone we offer with our gasket kits is rated to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. Keep us posted on the door, happy to help how we can. This would be the aftermarket door gasket kit we offer for the Serenity model. pellethead.com/product/pellethead-replacement-ardisam-castle-hps10-serenity-fire-door-rope-gasket/ Thanks.

Great video but I'm having trouble removing the door from my 2005 Harman XXV. Do I have to remove the top? Can you point me to instructions for this?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks Alan, Just reached out to our tech team on your question. I will follow-up Monday morning as soon as I hear back with direction here. Appreciated!

[@EarthSense]

Hey Alan, just heard back from our lead tech: The XXV door should just lift off of the pins. Open the door so it is perpendicular to the front of the stove and lift the door straight up. It should have a notch cut in the cast top to allow the door to lift off, but if it is an older version without that notch then you will need to un-bolt the top hinge plate to get the door off. Hope this helps. Keep us posted, thanks!

Forester by USSC model 5824 glass and door gasket size ?

[@EarthSense]

Had to do a bit of digging on that one. Here is what I found. Door Gasket for the 5824 Model is Part #88141. The manual does not indicate the size or type. This retailer has it listed (Link Below). It appears to be a 1/2" or 3/4" wide flat tape style gasket. Does your current gasket lay directly on the face of the door or is it in a groove? The glass gasket for the 5824 Model is Part #88139. I was unsuccessful finding anyone who sells this part number including the USSC factory site.

I have a stove im not sure of what kind it is. I know its old. I don't know how old. But it needs the gasket replaced. How do I go about doing so?

[@EarthSense]

Hey Jacklyn, Thanks for contacting us. If you can't find any markings or labeling on the stove for the manufacturer and model, I would suggest measuring the door gasket groove. Generally speaking the gasket used will be one size up from the groove width. Ex. 1/2" groove will generally use a 5/8" gasket. The best way is to determine the make and model of the stove, but if that is not achievable we should be able to get a proper replacement this way. Thanks!

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us Kate. In some cases you will find the model of the stove on the UL label of the unit. Generally this is a steel plate somewhere on the unit that provides the serial number and date of manufacturer. If you cannot locate that, let's measure the groove width in the door channel. Generally speaking the rope gasket needed will be one size larger than the gasket channel width. Keep us posted, happy to help! Thanks!

Should the new rope be the same diameter as the channel it goes into or slightly larger? Should I USE 3/4" gasket in my 5/8" channel? The old seal I removed had a smaller rope inside the outer one so it was quite dense, the new 5/8" one I bought didn't and it's not as dense, that's why I'm thinking maybe I should go with 3/4"? Stove is a RSF Delta 2, manual doesn't go into changing the seal. Thx

Can you recommend which gasket to use for a standard earth stove door from the mid '70's? Really helpful vid - thanks so much.

[@EarthSense]

Glad to hear the video was helpful. Wow, that's an old Earth Stove - That must be a wood stove model because Earth Stove didn't make pellet stoves until the late 80's. I know that most Earth Stove Pellet stove models use a 3/4" firm gasket. I would not be familiar with the really early Earth Stove Wood Stoves. Possibly one thing you could do would be to lift the gasket up a little bit and measure across the groove that it sits it. We would probable go with just 1 size larger than the groove. You can also squeeze the current gasket to feel what the density is like. Most will be medium to hard, however some are soft. Let us know what you find and we will see if we can assist with a replacement. Thanks!

[@wisedove7]

Thanks for the speedy reply! Yes..it's a wood stove, and the gasket is definitely wider than the one you used in the vid above. It's quite worn but the stove still has a decent seal, and I suspected it would need to be firm. I'd rather not lift the gasket unless I have a replacement on hand or coming, but if I can't find one here I will let you know when I do. Thank you again. :-)

Have an old (1992) The Earth Stove Model Bayview BV450 wood stove. Can't find any info on the size of the door gasket. Would appreciate any advice on where i can find the correct diameter of the rope gasket.. Thanks, loved your video!

[@EarthSense]

Hey Dwight, thanks for the message. Did some digging, found this parts outline for the Earth Stove BV450C. I know you just mentioned BV450, but I'm thinking this is correct. Shows a 3/4" Diameter Rope Gasket. You can always pull a small section of the gasket up and measure the groove width in the door gasket channel. Generally speaking, gasket will be one size up from the groove. Ex. 5/8" groove width, 3/4" diameter gasket. Let me know if that makes sense.

@@EarthSense Thanks so much for getting back to me! I had a 3/4" Rope gasket I bought last year I tried to install last night. It was too big and after trying to cram it in the groove the best could I was unable to get the door to close no matter how hard I tried... After reading your message I measured the groove and it is just less than 1/2 inch wide. So I'm guessing a 5/8" gasket will be best, just ordered a Pellethead rope gasket and a gasket for the glass window on Amazon!

What gaskets would I need for a Bronpi Eva NC pellet burner door and glass seals?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us Brian. I spent a decent amount of time searching on this model, appears to be a pellet stove made in Spain. I cannot find any parts catalog or parts breakdown in my searches. Wish we could be of more assistance here.

[@NOVAX4ALL]

@@EarthSense Thanks for searching anyway. You are correct in saying it is a Spanish model, I think I will just have to take my own measurements for both seals.

[@EarthSense]

@@NOVAX4ALL Most certainly Brian. Yes, if your door gasket is a rope style that fits into a groove, measure that groove. Generally we want to go one size up from the groove width. Glass gasket is typically a tape style gasket, you would measure the width on that. For the door rope gasket, also see what density it is - firm, medium, soft. Happy to help however we can. Thanks!

I have a 25 yr old Quadra fire 1100 pellet insert. It will light then the auger shuts down and will not turn back on. Unit shuts down. I did the paper test on the door and the paper slips out with extreme ease. Could the door gasket be my problem for the unit shutting down.

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us, happy to help. The issue could most certainly be your door gasket and that is where I would recommend to start. If that gasket isn't making a tight seal your vacuum switch will trip and cut off power to the auger motor. This could also be a thermocouple issue, but I would suggest we take care of the door gasket first being the paper slips out with ease.

I have a stove that the door does not have a grooved channel for the gasket to sit in. I cleaned everything pretty well. I used the cement, then put the door back on and closed it. I let it sit for close to 24 hours. It seemed pretty good. I lit a small fire with little heat as the direction said. As soon as I opened the door the gasket pulled away from the door. Not only that, but a section of the gasket was rock hard. Why would that happen? Do you think the adhesive that you use will work better ? Thanks in advance

[@EarthSense]

Hey Jeff, So on your model the gasket gets secured right to the door frame, no channel it sits in? What make and model do you have? Happy to help you figure out the best way to install that along with a good adhesive to use. Let us know. Thanks!

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us. Just did quite a bit of searching on parts lists for the Morso 2B stove door gasket. Unfortunately I could not come up with a definitive.. Lets measure the width of the groove in your door. That will give us a good indication. Generally the correct rope gasket will be 1 size larger than the width of the door groove.

I have a Cumberland pellet stove 3800 series. I just bought the stove from a guy a couple months ago. Everything has been working fine until recently it has popped really loudly when firing up during cycle And a big puff of smoke cones out around the ash pan or door, can’t tell fir sure. Obviously this has to be a pressure issue. I’m wondering does this sound like a seal issue or other. I’m planning on tearing into the back of it in the morning to check cleanliness.

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us, happy to help. Generally we will see this kind of issue when there are two many pellets in the burnpot on start-up. Too much fuel in the firepot can create an almost explosive ignition. It can also be caused if there is air restriction from ash blockage or burnpot holes that are plugged. I would suggest you go through a thorough cleaning on the unit and vent pipe; this very well could just be a cleaning maintenance issue. Keep us posted. Thanks!

Once the chain and auger motor are out you can remove the main sprocket to access the auger shaft. You'll find a retainer bracket with two bolts that holds the auger shaft securely. Remove and when you re-tighten, tighten evenly. Once that bracket is off a Channel Locks can be a great tool to grip the auger shaft bearing which is apart of the shaft assembly.

Hi I have a Harmon pc45 that's over 10 years old. Last year our Harmon guy said the gasket didn't need replacing but we have soot mark "goasting" on our ceiling and I tried that trick of trying to pull a dollar bill through the door and I could. I therefore think it needs replacing. What size would it take and do you think I'd need to replace the bottom door gasket where the pellet basket sits. I'm hoping to not have to take the door/s off their hinges. Thanks, Laurie

[@EarthSense]

Laurie, thanks for contacting us. I don't believe the soot mark 'goasting' is coming from the front door or ash pan door. The stove is always sucking in and blowing out the exhaust. When a gasket seal is no longer tight, you will notice a less efficient fire/flame - starting to get lazy. If that dollar bill pulls out with little resistance, it would be good to replace that gasket. You can check the ash door gasket the same way. Same size gasket is used on the door and the ash pan door for your stove. Link below to the door gasket kit for the PC45. To address the smoke, I would give strong suggestion to check the exhaust vent pipe connection and vent pipe seals. Again, the unit is blowing out the exhaust so it's under positive pressure. Even small leaks by the vent adapter or venting connection points will allow smoke/soot to come in the home. We use a hand held CO meter to detect for leaks in the pipe. Closely check that area. One last thing, the vacuum cleaner you use to clean your stove. If you are using a normal vacuum cleaner, that soot is going to pass through into the home. We recommend either an ash vacuum or to use hepa drywall dust filters in a standard shop vac. Hope that helps, any other questions please let us know. pellethead.com/product/harman-heatilator-fire-door-ash-pan-door-rope-gasket-seal-kit-3-8-x-30/ Thanks,

@@EarthSense thank you for the info. We have lost power a few times resulting in the house filling with smoke. Maybe that is the cause. We do use an ash vac to be safe. Recently bought a battery back up-surge protector unit which should give us 30 to 45 minutes to cool down the stove hopefully eliminating the house filling with smoke againg. Thanks for your reply!

[@EarthSense]

@@lauriewhite4804 Our pleasure Laurie. Yes, if power goes out some smoke will come in unless you have fresh air intake installed on the unit. With the PC45 and other Harman's, with Fresh Air Intake installed it is a sealed unit. I think the battery back-up is a great option as well to cool everything down safely in the event of an outage. Thanks again, warmest regards.

any tips on how to remove the screws holding the glass seem to have we welded them self on?

[@EarthSense]

Yeah, sometimes those screws can be a real bear.. I would suggest using a lubricant such as WD40 or PB Blaster and letting that soak in to each of the screws for a day or so (Stove off). See if they will budge. If they are still being stubborn, I would suggest using a small pencil torch and heating the area around the screw up so that the metal expands. Wear good protective hand gloves. Keep us posted, hopefully that is helpful. Thanks!

How did you get the door off? The front glass cracked on my stove. Goglass wants me to bring the door in so that they can replace it, but how to do that is not in the owner's manual. I don't want to break anything.

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us, happy to help. There are differences in how the door comes off based on the make and model of stove. This one was off a St. Croix stove and just sets on the pin hinges. So with this one we just wiggle back and forth with upward force and it comes right off. I would suggest taking a close look at the hinges from the door to the stove body. The majority are like this one where they are simply set on the pin hinges. Some may have bolts or retainers that have to be removed first - just depends on the model. Happy to assist, thanks.

[@spvz29bb]

@@EarthSense It worked! That was too simple, but, as I said, I was afraid of breaking something. Thank you.

Hi, I have an older RAIS Mino with the soapstone top/oven which came with a house I just purchased. I am having a hard time finding out what size gasket to use to replace the dress gasket which is old and fraying. When I called a representative I was told RAIS uses a universal gasket size for all models. I ordered the gasket kit and the stove repair man told me it didn’t fit the door- meanwhile he threw away the original so I cant tell what size it was myself. Then he told m,e to order a different gasket and that also did not fit. Ive having a difficult time getting return calls from dealers (except for the original who sold me the kit)- can you please help? The manual says contact the manufacturer or a dealer, and the manufacturer is in Europe. Meanwhile- no gasket 😞😞. Thanks! Jen

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for the message Jen, Happy to assist. Does the rope gasket lay in a groove on your model? Can you measure the groove that the gasket lays into? If we can get a decent measurement on the gasket groove, I believe we can determine the correct diameter gasket for your model. Let us know, happy to assist. Thanks, -Mr. Pellethead

Hi. My father in law has a pellet burning stove that we replaced the door seal on last week. Did all you showed, cleaned as good as we could, put new glue in and new rope. Not the rope you shown but a 12 mm grey rope that was very fluffy. (Same as was from the factory by the way) We put it in nicely, didn't stretch but also didn't stuff in in there. Now door doesn't seal... What did we do wrong? Also, his door had gaps in the channel in the corners and he said the old rope was stuffed into these gaps... Felt kinda strange doing that instead of just going around the corners. Is that normal?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us. Yes, something is off here. Can you let us know the make and model of his pellet stove? We can cross reference the correct gasket size and let you know of any particulars that are required for his model. Happy to assist and make sure everything is 100%. Thanks, Mr. Pellethead

[@TheDennisZb]

@@EarthSense Hi. Doesn't seem to have a make on it but the model is NB-P01-13. It's not even 2 years old yet. Thanks in advance!

[@EarthSense]

@@TheDennisZb Thanks Dennis. I wasn't familiar with that model so I looked it up. Manufacturer appears to be Ningbo which is one Alibaba imports in. Without ever carrying that model it would be difficult to say exactly what is going on with the door gasket. Generally speaking gaskets should last several seasons. A 12mm gasket equates out to being very close to a 1/2" gasket. It's important to have a tight seal all the way around. Possibly there was a mistake with the gasket size in the owners manual or something specific with that model that raised the gasket. Also unusual to have gasket stuffed in the corners as you mentioned. The important thing here is to have a tight seal all the way around ensuring there are no air gaps. You can try to put an additional bead of silicone behind the gasket to raise it up a bit or you could try to go a size higher with the gasket, such as a 5/8" replacement - Again, just important we have a solid seal all the way around. Any other questions please let us know. We carry virtually every size gasket if you need a different replacement. Thanks,

Hello good day ! have a Aurora wood stove, looks to be from the mid to late 1980's, (no manual) , the channel for the rope gasket is 1/2 inch wide, which size rope will I need to replace ?

[@EarthSense]

Thanks for contacting us - Good Day to you as well! :) If the Channel is 1/2" Wide, I would suggest the next size gasket for a proper seal which would be 5/8". Here is a 5/8" Gasket Kit we offer pellethead.com/product/firebox-door-gasket-seal-replacement-kit-9-ft-x-5-8/. Any other questions please let us know. Thanks!

How do I remove the feed door from my USSC Model 2000 stove ?

[@EarthSense]

Hey Jim, from what I can see on the 2000 model it appears the door has 2 pins on the right side when facing. You should be able to open the door and move it back and forth slowly while pulling up at the same time. The door should lift off those hinge pins. Let us know if that works for you or if you have any other questions. Thanks!
