Wood Stove Maintenance: Replace worn gaskets yearly on air-tight stoves. For peak efficiency check woodstove gaskets regularly and replace each season. Benefits of Midwest Hearth Gaskets: • Graphite impregnated gasketing is more abrasion resistant and less likely to get stuck with creosote ensuring a better and more consistent air tight seal. • Black gasket is used by leading stove manufacturers due to better aesthetics and higher performance. • There is no need to paint graphite impregnated gasketing. Directions: • Be sure stove is cold. • Wear protective gloves and eye protection. • Protect work area with a drop cloth. • Use a screwdriver or scraper to remove old gasket and clean door channels down to bare metal. • Apply a bead of gasket cement in door channel. • Press new gasket into wet cement and close door to check for airtight fit. • Trim gasket as needed. • Clean up all cement spills or excess immediately with wet cloth.
