    Folks,

    I bought the entire gasket replacement kit from Woodstock and finished it yesterday. It wasn't too bad. They have a new (to me) tadpole sled gasket kit that contains the metal hold-down brackets which have studs pre-attached. The last tadpole gasket replacement drove me nuts because I had to reuse the hold-down brackets. An interesting find was that the gasket on the inner glass panel had substantially eroded. I've ordered some Stove Bright paint to do some touchups. Also need to take a Dremel and mark the year onto the 2024 cat and new 2026 cat.
