Have you sealed it from the inside? That is if the stove's exhaust unbolts and flange comes off.

I put a bead of rtv on the stove itself then slid the adapter flush to the stove

Maybe this...http://www.designengineering.com/category/catalog/dei-cycle/insulating-materials/cool-tape Have it on my stove to seal the appliance adapter to the stoves pipe and it works great so far.

Of course the link doesn't work but it's DEI Cool Tape......just type that into your search bar or cut and paste the http line into your url address bar.

I do have some hi temp foil tape should i use that? I looked at the cool tape looks impressive!

I put a hose clamp on mine and socked it down real tight.

Is the gap between the inner pipe and out pipe, siliconed?

If the rope gasket leaks, it travels back and escapes in between that gap.

PITA to fill with the adapter on. Maybe this is what Oldmountvernon is talking about.

Are you sure that the stove exhaust actually hit and compressed the rope gasket inside the appliance adapter???

The appliance adapter slides over the stove exhaust . I had a old adapter so i took the rope out and doubled the rope my guess after all the discussion is the adapter to length of pipe needed rtv but i thought the foil tape would fix that( no luck) after second rope and a little more rtv on the adapter seems better. pain in the ass if i got to move this stove to take this stuff apart
