My door gasket came off last night on the one side. Do I just use High Temp Silicone to seal it back onto the door??
 
No, stop at a stove shop and buy gasket glue.

As long as you are getting stove cement, you might want to consider picking up a new gasket. Chip out the old stove cement with a small chisel, wire brush the channel, cement in the new gasket and you'll be good for years.
 
Thanks guys. I do plan on just getting a new gasket and then cement it in, but my local stove store didnt have gasket cement in a small tube (only large) so I just went with this stuff from Rutland called Hi Temp Gasket Adhesive. Probably not as good, but this is really just a temporary fix so i can keep using the stove until i get the new gasket and cement.
 
Yea I figured.....plus I wont have to worry about scraping any cement off when I do put the new one on......
 
I like the Rutland the best. Currs real fast and wire brush takes it out easy. Never seen the need to use it though if you have a groove. Only ever glued on the ones that go on flat surfaces.
