Coal / Wood stoves

[badwhale]

I've had two Vermont Castings wood stoves in the past.
I think you would be fine with the fiberglass gasket. They are made for high temps.
Make sure you have a CM detector in the room just to be sure.

My dad did some work on his Jotul#4 and I think he used fiberglass rope type stuff on the door

Yeah, the draft door on the bottom, and the feed door above it both have the fiberglass rope. Same on the side feed door, and the load lid. I guess I'm talking about the actual construction joints of the sides, bottom and top. Not the moveable parts once it's together.

I think I'm answering my own question here. I guess I need to use the joint compound on the stationary parts. Probably only needs taken apart every 10yrs or so.

Thanks,
Will
