Does anyone have the link to the BK approved high-density gasket?
My one year old chinook fails the dollar bill test.
If you have any tips for checking the one on the bypass door that would be nice too.
I know I can find these answers on the forum search but I'm feeling lazy and most of you are bored and not burning yet :)...
I'm hoping to make it to Halloween before the first fire.I do have a heat pump and it was on last night with the temp bottoming out around 40.
 
Oem blaze king parts from a dealer. Don't let them substitute anything else.

Did you try the door latch adjustment first? Instructions are in the OM.

The bypass gasket is checked the same way (with a dollar bill). You can check it from the firebox side but, if it needs to be snugged up, you need to access the adj. bolt through the flue collar.
