Door

In order for the stove to burn at its best efficiency, the door must provide a perfect seal with the
firebox. The tightness of the door seal can be verified by closing and latching the door on a strip
of paper. The test must be performed all around the door. If the paper slips out easily anywhere,
either adjust the door or replace the gasket.
