It's time for me to replace my door gasket on my Napoleon 1100. I have a new piece of gasket, but I'm wondering what you guys like to use to bond it to the cast iron? I've seen Youtube videos saying they use furnace cement. Then I could swear I heard or read somewhere recommending high temp silicone.

Both are used, I have always stuck with gasket cement from Rutland, always held up good for me.

Yup. We've done like mellow stated. No problems. It's also been a very long time since we've changed a gasket.
I tried some silicone on a gasket repair a few years ago. It worked, that is until I replaced the gasket this year. The silicone had baked into rock. It took a lot of work to clean it out of the gasket channel. I went back to Meeco's gasket adhesive.
