Midwest Hearth Wood Stove Replacement Gasket for Woodburning Stoves - Graphite Impregnated Fiberglass Gaskets (1/2" x 84" Rope)

I bought this to install a new piece of glass in the door of my wood burning stove - even though the glass that broke, oddly enough, did not have a gasket. I just saw it on the site where I purchased the glass and it seemed to be a good idea. Ends up the gasket was much thicker than I expected. The glass I had cut was to close to the exact size of the opening size so it did not leave enough space for this to work effectively. Even without the gasket it was a tight fit. The glass ended up cracking due to how tight the final fit was - I suspect it could not handle the expansion when the glass was heated. I saw it coming but took the chance anyway. All that said, this was no fault to the gasket though. Just something to consider. The gasket itself is very well made and if I had the glass cut with more tolerance, it would have worked fine. When I replace the glass again, I will account for the gasket and hopefully be able to peel it off and reuse it. At this price though it's not a huge deal and I would definitely purchase this gasket again.

Good gasket for stove door

The winter chill draft coming thru the fireplace glass doors have been sealed. I used 1/2” Stove Rope on the outer sides and bottom gaps along with 3/16” Stove Rope on the top and middle doors. The Black rope color blends with the dark glass. I felt the draft a lot less during installation. Wear gloves during installation .

My wood stove requires a 5/16" gasket. The prior owners used a 5/8" gasket and it made it difficult to close the door. Last season I burned through more firewood than I thought I should have. Upon inspecting the wood stove at the end of the season it seemed that the gasket was coming off the door in places. After replacing the gasket, the door shuts and seals much easier and I have much more control of the oxygen flow for a more controllable burn. I am so glad I bought and installed this product.

This seal is tough, we got it a tad bigger than our stove calls for because they do pack down after a short while. This one has done a great job of sealing the door to our wood stove. It did fluff out and frey really quickly when cutting it, but that wasn't a huge deal, I just cemented it all down and it works wonderfully.
