Austral I or Austral II? If it's an Austral I it looks like this is a special gasket. Part AC06100. I'd order the gasket directly from Drolet.

Its an Austral 1.
Their wweb site and owners manual were of no help, seemingly.

The part number is AC06100. The website has the complete parts list on the linked page I posted. Call around to local Drolet dealers which are also listed on their website. Looks like there are several in Fredericton.
Thanks again BG. I was able to scoop up the gasket kit at a local stove shop, along with some good advice on applying said gasket properly (prep is always key isn't it)... Unfortunately, I only experienced this emergency gasket failure this morning, after fully loading the stove (it's cold up here). I had to shut down the Austral with magnets covering the secondary inlet and fully engaging my pipe damper (the inside of the pipe was registering in the high 600's Celsius)... I was able to tame it completely (thank you Lord) in a short bit of time, but I have only myself to blame, as I figured that the gasket was going when I had to start using the pipe damper a bit more than usual... I guess I was hoping it would hold until the spring time when the stove wouldn't be running full out.... what a dufus; I didn't even have the sense to order the bloody gasket kit and have it handy for when I needed it..... I can't do anything tonight as the stove is still smoldering with some nice coals just below a cover of ashes. Probably get it done tomorrow night and then hopefully have her back online Friday after work... In the meantime, I'll have to let the heat pump shoulder the load for a couple of days, which can get expensive.... Let this be a cautionary tale.... Cheers
