Finding Replacement gaskets for stove doors.

[jeffjoy]

I am looking for replacement rope gaskets for my two coal stoves. The Rutland brand of hollow core braided gaskets are the only type available in my area. Unfortunately, they don't provide an adequate seal for my Crane stoves. I am looking for a 1/2" braided rope gasket with a stranded filament core. Although this gasket looks the same as the Rutland on the outside, the fiberglass core makes it much denser. I have found information on boiler gaskets that fit the description of what I am looking for, but can't find a source to buy from. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Don't know much about coal sorry. But, have you tried local coal furnace/ stove dealers. They should have it, or be able to order what you need.

Hogwildz,

I have checked stove shops, hardware stores, etc. No luck yet. Got to keep looking since it is getting pretty cold up here.

Thanks.

Yeah - I thought those high density gaskets were easy to find. maybe not in Home Depot but stove shops and plumbing/boiler supply shops.

Hi,

I called Patriot Supply (Mansfield,MA) but they don't carry the rope gaskets. Thanks for the suggestion. I have been contacting plumbing shops. No luck yet.
