I'm getting ready to take the stove apart for a good cleaning. What gaskets will I need and where can I pick them up?
Thanks

You should only need some lytherm sheet gasket, enough to make a gasket for the convection blower and combustion blower (assuming you are going to do a proper cleaning job on both).
The condition of the door and ash pan gasket (perform the dollar bill test if it passes you don't need a new gasket for the ones that pass). You should be able to get the lytherm sheet on-line or at a stove repair shop or through the dealer you bought the stove from.
You can also check the sizes of the gaskets and visit any hardware store that sells pellet, wood, or coal stoves.
You match up the sizes and temperature of the gaskets to determine what to buy.

Any 6" diameter combustion motor gasket will work. Use any except Whitfield and Travis 7" gaskets and you will be good.
