Gasket change

[zrock]

Just figured I'd toss this up here. Got a used stove and have been running it for a few weeks. The flame has always been inconsistent be high one min and just about out the next and glass always got dirty fast. . Tested door and it tested good so I just figured it was the Stove. I noticed that the handle one day hung more to the left then right. So I figured i needed new door handle but before ordering I figured I'd change gasket first before spending $70 on a new handle. Pretty amazing the difference is for a gasket that tested good. Flame is nice and consistent and much hotter been running most of the day and I can still see through the glass..
Now the new burn pot and ignitor is ordered...

Well I may have messed up and packed the hinge side of door to tight. I just noticed a glow around top few inches close to hinge side. I guess if it has a air leak up their it would keep the flame high and keep the glass clean.... the damper changes the flame but not to the same point as before almost putting out fire. Have to check fit when I shut it down

definitely messed up the casket did the paper test and no resistance in that spot. I had pulled the rope in that spot but i thought i had pushed it back up. But i guess between to much rope on the hinge side and to little in that spot i just could not compress it enough

Found the issue upper door hinge was tweeted a bit not allowing a seal. Wish I would have noticed that before tearing out new gasket...lol..
