Check Door Seal, Adjust if Necessary

The door latch and door gasket work in conjunction to seal the firebox. If the doors do not seal, air will leak into the firebox and cause the fire to burn too fast. This reduces the ability to burn the fireplace overnight or precisely adjust the burn rate. Follow the directions below to check the door gasket.

Check the door gasket. It should adhere to the door and be intact (check both doors). The gasket follows the perimter of the door along the outside edge (the inside edge does not have gasket).

Use wood stove gasket cement to re-adhere loose gasket.

Severely frayed or thread-bare gasket should be replaced.

Follow the directions below to check the door latch.

When closing the doors, the handle should pull the doors in and dreate a snug fit. If it doesn’t check the following two items

Door Latch Rod Adjustment

If the door latch rod does not keep the bottom of the doors snug against the firebox, bend the rod in slightly to create a tighter fit.

If the door latch is loose, move one of the washers from the inner side of the latch shaft to the outer side. For finer adjustments, tighten the outer nut against the inner nut to create a precise fit.

Glass Inspection & Removal

If the glass is cracked or broken, it must be replaced. The glass & gasket should seal against the door. See the illustration below for glass removal. When re-installing the glass, gently press the rope gasket in place (use a putty knife).

WARNING: The top of the glass comes close to the face of the fireplace. The glass must be all the way down to prevent is from striking the fireplace when the door is closed.

The rope gasket pins the glass in place.
