- This a a short video where I follow-up on a previous video where I removed the old wood-stove door gasket and replaced it with a new one. In this video I inspect the gasket adhesion, and light a small fire to cure the seal adhesive.

Thanks so much to you and your commenters! I have had my woodstove 10 years and never knew this needed to be done. Noticed that the flames were not slowing down when I damped it down, and it was eating wood like a hog, lol. The top of the gasket had fallen away. So I got the kit...the same as yours, lol. As a girl who is still "learning" about winters in NS, I so appreciate your friendly demeanor. I will go check out your gardening vids too!
Thanks :)
I love thé way You explain, thank you
You're very welcome!
Thanks Greg! My gasket seal worked out perfectly ❤
Thanks for all the tips!
Great to hear!
We use Fatwood brand sticks purchased at Lowe's -- just a couple -- also we save toilet paper rolls -- fold one inside another and use one to start -- also we collect DRY pine cones and use just one or two make great starters without much effort -- also we collect and split medium cedar or cypress dead-fall branches.
If I have a damp wood day, one birthday or hannukah size candle can make ALL the difference in a quick fire. I buy the candles on clearance prices and keep them near the stove for a frustrating or damp-firewood day. We live off-grid with significant weather exposure in our wood stove area so that happens sometimes here in Alabama.
We rarely need to split kindling, folks, but I enjoy using my hatchet for this when needed!
Gasket replacement is pretty much spot on. I prefer to join ends on the bottom middle of door, but to each their own. However, If I have to put thermostats on my pipe to know when to close the door, adjust draft, I'd never burn wood. Never had a problem burning wood without those.
The thermostats make the operation more precise. You can get by with sound, look & feel, but the thermostats tell you exactly what's going on.
Good instructional vid. Your stove looks identical to my 16" Dutch West wood stove. I went to replace my gasket today for both the window and door and when I returned home to fit them, they were each 1 foot short. When I purchased them, I told the salesman that I needed a 50" X 1/4" and a 60" X 5/8" gaskets. So now I have to drive an hour each way back to the wood stove store and have them re-cut both gaskets again. Thanks for sharing.
Ouch! Sounds like my experiences, lol. I hope someone has a video on the window gasket, as mine looks "crusty". I have a Jotul F-100...looks like a toy, but keeps us warm most of the year. We mounted it about 15" off the floor, and its cheery fire made the room the favorite place in the house to be.
Very helpful and thank you. If you have the opportunity please post how you light your fires without kindling. I’ve had limited success doing so...thanks again
Ok will do :)
OK cool will do
I used a heat gun to dry the water after cleaning, then I applied the 2000 degree glue and fit my new gray gasket with no tape. Then closed the door and started a big fire the next day, no problems
I would like to see how you start your daily fires without kindling. I heat with wood, too, and the newspaper/kindling aspect of it is so tedious.
OK will do thanks
I use a butane blow torch & sprinkle Fruity Pebbles meth on top of the wood, works perfect + you get one he'll of ah high!
Yes! Please do the fire starting video. Thanks 🤗
ok!
looking nice and warm there.
Well done sir, looks nice 👍
Good idea on the thermometer; I usually just eyeball it on when to shut the door, lol, not as efficient as a gauge!
Yes, I find it helps, especially when the wood is not as dry as it should be
Hi, I have two wood stoves and picked up a thermometer for the stove and flue. It’s interesting to use and more accurate.. initially the flue got hot when I started the fire, then got cooler as the stove kicked in and urned the gases. Indefinitely recommend getting a couple of gauges to manage your heat, it’s cheap at about $10 per gauge on Amazon. Cheers, sunjay
Close the afterburner inlet at the back of the stove with a cup of heavy aluminum foil until the fire gets going for a faster better start with that model stove. The cold air that comes into the stove through that inlet interfers with the draft. Once the fire is hot enough to heat that air remove the afterburner block.
When you said to keep the "door ajar", I kept thinking of Bill Hicks. :)
Yes he was a funny one! That was an LSD joke as I recall
I would like to see how you start a bonfire. I have made them before but never knew the best way to do it.Thanks The fire looks so inviting. I have always loved a fire.
Thank you for education. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃. Stay safe 👍🙏❤️
You are so welcome
I have the same stove put a new gasket on a month ago seems that when you close the door so much the door don’t seal as good any suggestions!
Thanks for the tutorial, now I don't have to go through what you did during the learning curve phase process🤪
Glad it was helpful!
So you left the gasket seal set for 12 hours before starting a small fire, and let it burn out? I would also like you to make a video on what you use to start a fire without fatwood or kindling. I had replaced the old woodstove last year, and put in a new one, but I could not get it to start with just big pieces of wood. I have to cut them down to fit into my woodstove, so I use the electric log splitter to cut them down. I can only take 13 to 14 inch logs, and some logs I get delivered are 18 inches. I have to have some kind of kindling, and then on in the season I started using Fatwood with the kindling. Where would I get birch bark to start a fire in my woodstove?

I'd like to see a video of how to start a fire without kindling. Not being rude just curious because I burn 8 cord of firewood a winter

Miss having wood heat !!
Nothing quite like it other than the sun :)
What kind of wood stove is that?
Just fitted seal today and the door will barely latch. The rope is obvioudly too big. I will have to temove it but how do you suggest I get the glue off before I replace it. Also the rope frays so its impossible to work with it. Any ideas? Thanks....
you'll have to chuck everything, scrape/clean it off, and start over with a new kit. If the rope is fraying too much when you but it you need sharper scissors/knife
@@maritimegardening4887 Thanks. Went a size down and there was a gap so had to revert to previous one which I thought was too big. Tight close but was told it will adjust shortly.....
Thanks for that how-to. My problem is keeping a fire going, though I try to follow people's advice - I'd love a tutorial on that.
OK I'll add that to the list
Great - thanks a lot - I look forward to that.
Get temperature gauges and add wood and oxygen when needed to keep the temperature in the correct range. The gauge will tell you
@@sunjaybedi4389 Will it tell me whether to add wood or oxygen or both?
@@annestudley8235 if you get a stove temperature gauge, dry wood, some kindling you should be good. There are a number of videos out there on how to start a fire, raise the temperature of your stove to burn not only the wood but gasses given off that is assuming you have a high efficiency would stove with secondary burning.
Here is what I do,
1 build a small fire with dry kindling and paper to start and I leave the damper open fully and door opened an inch or two.
2 as the fire catches I add bigger pieces and keep the door opened an inch or two to feed oxygen to the stove.
3 as it continues to burn, about ten to 15 minutes I had he bigger hardwood and let it burn 5 minutes to catch. Then I close the door and keep the damper opened fully.
4 when the stove gets to 400f or the upper end safe burning zone, I turn down the damper and let the wood burn til the stove gets cool. Where I will add more wood to it on top I’d the hot hot coals.
I'm having so much trouble putting a gasket on with just what I have on hand till I get my disability check
It's definitely easier to remove the door and work with it like that
Birch matches that's called. Really. At least in my Mom's side of family.
That's right. Very good!
I have the same stove and the bastard is the worst wood stove in the world to start. Definitely does not draft like yours. I have to preheat the stove pipe and everything beforehand or ill smoke the whole house out every time
The door lifts off ~ you should watch the other guys video, No tape required, and you let the sealer cure off the stove for 24, then close the door, otherwise your pushing out the sealer and his seals are lasting several years,,,
I know the door lifts off - and I spoke about that in the video.
I have a kerr wood furnace and the seal falls out every year! the trouble starts at the joint ( the cut ends) I've tried to get the ends to stick but they pull off after a couple of months mid season any advice?
