yesterday I did a thorough cleaning including taking apart the exhaust T to vacuum inside the exhaust. I also swept the chimney liner with a brush. unfortunately there seems to be 2 silicone gaskets that broke that were part of the T. I tried my best to realign it and silicone the heck out of it.. but im still smelling smoke at he start up. I did the flashlight and it seems to be coming from all over the t. I smudged red high temp silicone everywhere and it did slow it down alittle but now it looks messy as hell. my question is should I just replace the whole exhaust t? or is it possible to replace the gaskets? If so where would I find these things? thanks
thourough cleaning, now smelling smoke

I use this around all in my pipe connections. Max temp 500 degrees F. My pipe is black so it blends right in.

It's rated for 500 degrees F holding temp. It does peel right off easily if need be.

While the tape will be helpful, you should be able to purchase replacement gaskets for the T. What brand pipe?
