Question:

Is there supposed to be a seal on the top? The top comes off, and it's leaking there. I'm just wondering if I need to get a gasket for it. Thanks:)





Answer:

There are many models of Scandia stoves. Some had removable tops...these usually had a gasket inside a channel. You can probably seal it quite well using black furnace cement - Rutland is one good brand.

You might also have to replace the gasket.
