I have an Ashford 25 wood stove. I can't find the specs on the catalytic converter. The reason I am asking is because I just had it cleaned. The technician indicated he didn't want to remove the catalytic converter because he (nor I) didn't have a spare gasket--and they tend to crumble upon removal. Does anyone have experience with this, ie--what size gasket I would order for the next time I get it cleaned (and want them to inspect converter/go that route up through the stove to clean the pipes above?
 
Check with Midwest Hearth, they sell Interam gasket. Make sure you get the right width and length for your stove's cat.

you can get a large roll so you have extra on hand.
