Hello All, I would first like to thank everyone on this forum for all of the valuable information. I live in a cabin that I purchased in the fall of 2015 in Southern Vermont that came with a Jotul #8 (first generation with draft wheel - cabin built in 1984). I used this site frequently as I installed a SS liner in the chimney, and to learn good technique on stove operation. When we moved in, before using the stove, I replaced the door gasket (not the glass one), as well as the top gasket in the lid.
My Question:
This year, I plan to replace all gaskets after we have finished burning for the season (to include the gasket around the glass). Should I purchase a new piece of glass to replace the current one? (Current one is not broken...gets clean with some wet newspaper and ash) Should I order one just to have it on hand?
Thanks again for all of the information. I believe this is my first post, but I have read so many threads about the stove we own on here. It has been an extremely useful resource.
