My Jotul insert has for a while had a slight warp in the front face of stove causing extra air to come through door. Replace the gasket will work very for about a month and then I’m back to square one with it burning too quick and hot. I’ve blocked doghouse air and this has helped a bit as well.
Has anyone ever had luck with using 2 different sizes of gasket in order to compensate for a slight warp in stove? I know this isn’t a true fix, but still curious.
