I'm not quite seeing why I can't replace the gasket around the fireback in my 2550, but this is what the manual says:
Permanent Encore Gaskets
Other gaskets form seals between non-moving parts, but these are not subject to the same wear and deterioration as gaskets on moving parts. It is unlikely that you will ever need to replace these gaskets unless the involved parts are disassembled and then put back together. If this is the case, the job should be done only by a qualified service technician.
5/16†diameter gasket seals the following parts:
•The flue collar to the stove back
•The lower fireback to the sides
Pulled out the fireback to have a look at the catalyst (looks good) and to install one of those Condar probes, and found the gaskets like this. I'm thinking I should just buy the gasket material, remove the old, clean up the joints well, carefully replace the fireback (maybe that's the trick?) and fire the gaskets in. Am I missing something important here?
Thanks,
John
