Thank you John.    I was checking out the old gasket, and it is coming off, apparently not enough cemet to hold it together.   I am going to go and get the 1 inch and try it.   The door handle is adjustable, so hopefully it will be fine.   Going from   a 5 - 6 hour burn to  a  2-1/2 hour burn is a little tough.   Again, thank you

This fall, had my stove cleaned and checked, and he also changed the door gasket.   Apparently,  it is not right .   Sides are turning black, and allowing alot of air to enter stove.   My burn time is about 2-1/2 hrs.    This stove is our only source of heat.    The manual says to use a 7/8" gasket, and the only one I can find around here is 1 inch.   Tomorrow it is supposed to be a warm day (for central NY),  and I am going to clean the stove pipe and stove, and would like to change the gasket - which I am not a pro at.   My question is - can I use a 1 inch in place of the 7/8 inch gasket?   And if so,  do I stretch it out a little.   Please help - thank you.
