I was inspecting my stove before it is used 24/7 for the coming months. and i noticed that the foam/fiber gasket that goes between the liner and the insert, has a 3" gap, that is now no longer in the area between the two parts. is this something for noise abatement to stop rattling or does it serve a more important function such as sealing out the smoke or air flow?
if this description makes no sense i can try and post a photo of it.
thanks
