I need to replace my door gasket

[mstoelton]

I have come to the conclusion that I need to replace the door gasket on Clydesdale #1. Is there a way to do it while running the insert, or do I need to put it in standby for 24 hours to let the furnace cement dry. I hate to take it out of service with the weather so cold, but I will if I need to do so.

Just redid my door gasket last week and the Rutland gasket cement asked for an hour dry time with the stove down. I gave it an hour and a half and all is well.

Not possible to do while running, especially if there is hard gasket cement that needs to be removed. Have you already tried to slightly tighten the latch spring tension to buy you some time?

yes, I tried adjusting but the gasket material is just deteriorated and gone in one spot. I'll shut her down for a few hours over the weekend and bite the cold bullet.
