Stan if you will look back at one of mellow thread he has some good pictures of the correct gasket for the cats. The ones you have as you can see are way too thin. My guess is the correct ones are about 1/2 inch thick to make a good tight fit. Maybe mellow will stop by and post the picture again.

This might be the image coltfever is referring to... Click on the up arrow near "Mellow said":
I thought Matt at http://www.servicesales.com/appalachian-stove-parts-c-17.html said he would send enough gasket to wrap the cats twice but I only had enough to wrap them 1 1/2 times. I guess I need to call him tomorrow.

Yea, that is for sure way to thin. I am sure Matt will have no problem sending you more, you can always email him that picture and he might give you some suggestions about wrapping it.

I find it interesting how little has changed with these stoves over the years, not sure when yours was manufactured, guessing early 80's when the cat stoves first started coming out.
Matt said. "They make a “blanket” of rockwool type material to fill large gaps like that. It’s about $9.00 for a sheet, which should be enough to fill the gap." So I guess I will have to order that Friday.
