Homestead Series How To Replace A Wood Stove Seal

[lakota1974]

My stove is identical to yours.. i think... and my question is... What is the glue and the gasket brand... also do you know where to get a replacement piece of glass?

Or do you know of someone or a site that sells replacement glass and gaskets?

in this weather we're currently having, man I wished I had a wood stove, but I live in a multiestory

I grew up in a house heated solely with wood,and my parents still live there.That being said we only cleaned the window in the woodstove door with dry handful of newspaper and it always came away crystal clear,just some hard rubbing required.good vid thanks

[ChrisKillz503]

Thanks for this, I didn't even know you need to change those seals

[RedneckBlumpkin]

Why did you make a video for this? It is the equivalent of making a video on how to make kraft dinner. Follow the 3 lines of instruction on the package, simple as hell.

i guess the real question would be why would someone with such insight watch such a vid ?hmm are you ilumanati????

We have a corn burner. It's easier around me to find corn than it is to find wood. Actually corn is cheaper than wood. We don't have the ability to get wood around here by means of cutting it up. We just go to the local co-op and pick up several bags of corn, then we clean it, and burn it!!

It works well!! I might to a vid of it when we get it up and running!

[jihadacadien]

Does corn produce  as much heat as wood?

[mbyr31]

The corn, in my opinion, doesn't produce as much heat as wood, but it's cleaner burning and heats real nice.

The thing I like best about wood burners though is the smell. Corn has no smell.

Another thing about corn burners is they don't run up your insurance rates. The chimney stays nice and cool, you can actually touch it. It doesn't get hot.. All the hot air escapes through the front via a fan..

[jihadacadien]

Well this is awsome especially about the insurance. plus corn is really hard to compost! Thanks

[mbyr31]

No problem man!!

[HomesteadAcres]

just wondering you say you clean the corn will it not work right otherwise? thanks

[mbyr31]

No, it will still work fine. In fact, recently our cleaner is "out of service" but we will still be burning. What happens is it just makes it more messy and you have to clean the burner more frequently, thats all. We only cleaned it so we wouldn't have to clean the burner every other day, rather just once every other week.

Good job mr Homestead , i've changed mine before restarting the stove for winter , i used a gasket kit like your's. To clean the glass you can use a wet clothe and cold ashes ,it runs fine and it's ecological : no chemical stuff .

[yesiamanalien]

Nice video. I don't have a wood stove (yet) but I didn't know there was a thing around the door. Well now I know how to replace it lol

[Richardofdanbury]

Good project, just a couple of things. First generally a gasket will last 3 to 4 years under heavy use. Second, is that the gasket is asbestos so care must be taken in removing and disposal. Technically, for you own protection you should be wearing a mask, rubber gloves and long sleeves. You should also have a disposal bag ready when the gasket is removed. It should be placed immediately in the bag before proceeding further.

asbestosos um hear in the us it is illegal it is made out of pyrex fiber glass

[58belvedere]

is it safe to have things on the shelf in back of the wood stove? good idea to make sure the damper control works good its not good when stove over heats and the pipes get hot hot,, it scares me!

[mountaincavedwellers]

Thanks

[youronesickpuppy]

I just let mine hang. Maybe I should replace mine now. XD
