Unfortunately our dealer order numbers/price sheets don't give that size info. Most gasketing that I have seen is fiberglass and handles heat up to 1000 degrees which is far higher than a gasket will get on a DP.
3/4 " would be a guess. You will notice that pull the gasket material tight it will get considerably smaller.
Do I read that right? that you have been heating with a DP since '05?
Do you feel that you have gotten your investment paid back yet?
Sept 05 is about when we started looking into the DP dealership.
All of ours are still running (don't want to seem surprised) They have been far less trouble than what we sold before DellPoint. _________________ Using corn for low cost heat!!

Sorry for the slow reply lowcost, its been a crazy year. But thanks for the help. I ended up using 7/8" gasket,their 3/4" was a lose braid and did not pack up good. The 7/8" was a tight braid and was a little thick, but after the first fire it worked good.
And yes you read it right I have been burning a Dell-Point since 04/05 heating season. And the closes dealer was in Va. and living is South Jersey it took some doing from some family and friends to get it up here.
Yes, my investment in this stove has paid for itself. And my house at a nice and warm 75Ëš vs 60Ëš to 65Ëš in oil. But I still have to remind the wife and kids.."IT'S CHEEP BUT STILL NOT FREE."...lol
How is the newer stoves look..I'm going to be in the market for a new one for the house and move this one in the shop out back. 1000 sqft. _________________ Burning a Dell-Point 9/2005
