Hello

What is the difference between a simple white door gasket and a graphite impregnated for usage in a stove?

About $92.51 from the looks of it... Holy crap, I don't have an answer but there can't be $92 worth of difference... it's a gasket!

Unless that's like a 100 foot roll or something?
 
Hello

The 100 ft roll is at the local Stove Shop and I can buy it by the Foot. So the price is not the issue here guys!
 
I don't think it will make a difference Don.

The graphite one is slipperier.

You'll have to provide more information.
 
Hello Again

Here is more info from Aubuchon Hardware Web Site

This handy repair kit replaces burnt off and worn out gaskets on air-tight heating appliances such as wood stoves, coal stoves, furnaces, stokers, fireplace insert stoves, etc. Our Gasket Cement and full directions are included in the package. Bubble-packed and carded for convenience of display. Graphite impregnated fiberglass looks better while resisting sticking and creosot build-up. Seal lasts longer and efficiency is increased. This Rutland Grapho-Glas Stove Gasket Kit is one of many top quality items in our Stove Gaskets & Cements department.

Graphite Impregnated may be better :)
