You're welcome Any time.
Hélène Curtis (asker) Apr 26, 2012:
Thanks for the info:)
Alison Sparks (X) Apr 26, 2012:
There you go! Actually when it's new you do have to be careful not to overheat it as it could stick to the door and then be difficult to replace afterwards. You usually also have to use a special glue which like the rope is treated to tolerate heat.
Hélène Curtis (asker) Apr 26, 2012:
sure please do
Alison Sparks (X) Apr 26, 2012:
Good I replaced one recently so am glad you see what I mean. So do I submit a proper answer or are you OK with this?
Hélène Curtis (asker) Apr 26, 2012:
@Alison Got it...went out to the garage and examined the door on the stove...sure enough, there is a sealing rope...thanks:)
Hélène Curtis (asker) Apr 26, 2012:
@Alison Thank you. Now can you tell me where it is located?
Alison Sparks (X) Apr 26, 2012:
Don't think so There is a thickish string which is specially made to act as the sealing for a poêle à bois. Some might call it a rope. The French I do believe refer to this as a 'corde à sceller'.
