Check for Air Leaks Around the Door, Glass, and Ashpan
! Air leaks into the firebox will decrease the stove's performance greatly, leading to
excessive sooting, inefficient burning, and perhaps a malfunction.
• Test the door seal by shutting the door on a dollar bill in various locations. If the bill can be
easily slid out, air may be leaking around the door seal – inspect the door gasket and door
catch carefully.
• Inspect the door gasket to make sure it is fully attached. Use heater gasket cement to re-
attach if necessary. If the door gasket is worn or flattened, replace.
• Check the door to make sure it latches correctly. Slight adjustments can be made to the
door catch if necessary (do not over-tighten this catch, an over-tightened catch will
damage the door). The latch should engage with a slight amount of resistance, yet not be
difficult to engage.
• If the glass is cracked, replace. The glass is held in place by glass clips that are
underneath the airwash brackets. See the illustration below for details.
• Remove the ashpan and inspect the gasket around the perimeter of the ashpan. Re-
attach, or replace the gasket if necessary.
