Not sure what the ash wick gastket is but this dealer is very helpful with the older bucks

Hi. I have a buck 27000 and am looking to replace the gaskets. My local hardware has real thick single Piece gaskets. Will that work for my buck? It has 2 thinner ropes on the sides and top. I'm sorry if you're not familiar with it but am guessing you are.

So would the thick one PC work instead of what's on there now (two 3/8 sections)? The thick stuff around here is probably around 3/4 in thick. Give or take a little. Just a guess. ALL HAIL THE BUCK Lol

Hello Blowin!!
mine is 3/8 I guess thicker would be better ( don't forget Im no expert) don't forget the clean out the grooves real good and use the chimney silicon to hold it in place... I hope your using your stove -14 tonight -30 windchill... THE BEAST IS PRODUCING HEAT and not a sound from the furnace HAHAHHA ALL HAIL THE BUCK

No problem. Just found out the thick piece on bottom is called "ash bar wicking" and found it here http://www.stove-parts-unlimited.com/Ash-Bar-Wicking-per-foot-For-Buck-p/mg-141fbg1.htm
But I am getting air somewhere. Just fired up real good 3 descent splits and opened door to check and now I can't choke it out??? Even with door slots all the way shut. Gonna get that rope and wick and the same guy sells special glue for doing it . But outside is cold and inside the furnace isn't making a peep and the wife is telling me to crack a window

 

[WASPKFD]

I don't think you can choke it out.. I cant with mine , I can see a little gap at the top but no concern.. Im getting 6+ hours with 2/3 full...
I think all you need to do is make yourself happy.. some of these guys are experts (freaks lol kidding) and can squeeze every second from a piece of wood.. But Hey my house is warm my ass is stuck to the leather couch did I mention spiked hills and g string hahahahhh.. happy burning.. BTW I didn't install the ask wick at the time I didn't find any info and don't see a spot for it...

 

[WASPKFD]

BTW have you done the dollar bill test on your doors yet? try that too...

Hey wasp. I got a gasket package from lowes. The gasket rope measures 6'2". Is that gonna be enough? And the instructions say to put on and close doors for 2 hrs for the cement( that came with the gasket) to seal for sure. Do I HAVE to wait this long? Cold out and don't want to go that long without my wonderful stove heat. Lol.

[WASPKFD]

Greetings guys, Hope you don't mind my asking a question: Just looking at a buck 27000 I picked, I brought up one of the doors, there is a piece of expanded metal in front of the each glass, do they come that way, if they do is the expanded metal necessary ? I'd like it better I think without the metal.

Thanks Richard
