Hi all,
I have taken apart my wood stove insert and found that the rope gasket for the top needs replaced as well as the side door gasket. The stove is a Dutchwest 2460.

This is the kind of stove I have. I attached the PDF manual for the stove.
I bought the appropriate gasket size, but when I looked at the package I noticed that the temperature max is 1000 F. I know the cat gets a lot hotter than 1000, but is the gasket going to hold up? I didn't see any different temperature ranges available for gaskets. Man, I'd hate to have a fire going and suddenly have the gasket fail!
What do you guys and gals think? Do I need a gasket with a higher temp rating? Thank you so much for any help you can offer.
Jason
