door seem lets light out.

[moondoggy]

hey all,
been burning my new VC intrepid since thanksgiving.like ~8-14 hrs a day.
i noticed the other night, up close, from the correct angle, i could see there was a pin hole of light at the top corner where the
doors meet. it is very small and i can only see it when the fire is blazing.
should this be a concern?
can i wait until end of season to redo the gasket?
i noticed when i got it (frm dealer)the rope strips looked kind of half assed with the rope endings showing/not tucked in. (maybe its supposed to be like that.)
i have tried to mush and squish the rope to cover the whole, and tried to tighten the handle.
any other ideas?... and should i worry?

No concern and I would not worry. No need to redo if it is only a pinhole. Very typical on double door stoves.

ah jeez thanks.
i have been kind of worried/bummed...(and keep walking over to the stove making odd bobbing head motions constantly looking for it.)

I'd call the dealer and tell them about it, that it looked half-assed from the get-go and that there is a gap where you can see fire. Let them replace the gaskets and check the stove out thoroughly under warranty.

As Web said, probably no biggy, but if the gaskets looked bad to begin with you will be replacing them soon.

I have an older intrepid and I noticed the same thing on mine. I have never had any problems from it. Don't know if this helps.

every post helps, normal ones at least.
thanks guys, for putting my mind at ease.
