    Is this gasket good ?

    Hi, I just had my wood stove installed and the gasket seems teared up. Is this good ? I don't want to be picky with the installator but with the price tag on this stove I expect to be fully functional. What you all think ?

    The door gasket on my stove is currently the ash bar type (stove was bought refurbished). The stove seams to draw super hard. I done the dollar bill test and the dollar pulls out with no resistance. Is this the correct type of gasket or should it have the rope style? Thanks in advance!
