PE baffel gasket

[hh3f]

I have a PE insert and when I clean it I remove the baffle along with that cheep gasket. When I first bought my stove 3 years ago I paid $2 bucks each for the things now they want $13 and change for them. Anyone no where I can get some of this material to make my own. PE if your listening I love your stove but your ripping us off on a 5 cent gasket.

Email or call Tom at Chimneysweeponline.com, the rear rectangular baffle gaskets are about $3.00 each. Just order a pack of 3.

I just got a three pack from Tom - he was waiting on a shipment from PE - I originally wanted to get 6.

He shipped them quickly in just a regular envelope - I think it was $11 for 3.

$3 a piece in Winnipeg, any day of the week @ Flame & Comfort.
At $13, it sounds like they are bending you over their counter and giving it to you dry!! :gulp:
......Unless the $13 is for a pack of 5. :coolsmile:

I am tempted to develop one out of thin stove window tape gasket. At least it wouldn't rip as easy.
Hmm aftermarket for $1.50 a pc.

No reason that shouldn't work, if it fits...

Might have to use a dab of furnace cement where the two ends meet.
Or get the daughter & OL to braid the ends together. Then watch them itch for the next several days. * Evil grin* Ugg Ugg

Mine tore the first time I cleaned the stove. It's been burning since January without one in it. Well I put part of it back in. They burn fine without them.

I believe the gasket is there so it will prevent particles of ash being sucked up and clogging the material in the baffel. Over a period of time this may diminish the effectiveness of your secondary burn. Or maybe not. Let us know after a few seasons.
Now back to the material. What I would like to find is a sheet of material that is compilable to the original gasket so I can cut my own. Im thinking of going to a boiler supplier and see if they might have something. It looks like the gasket that is uses on burners motors where they connect to the combustion might be the same material. Now only to get it in sheet and at a reasonable price. I will most likely buy some gaskets from Chimneysweeponline.com but in time I think his prices will increase and force alot of us to find a suitable replacement. I plan on burning this stove for the next 25 years and my local supplier has gone from $2 to $14 for one of these just think what were going to pay in 5 to 10 years.

I'll probably be paying $3 per gasket in 10 years....:coolsmile:
