Rutland Grapho-Glas? replacement stove gaskets are engineered to provide superior sealing, protection, and longevity when compared to other materials. The graphite-impregnated fiberglass resists creosote and soot adhesion that, in turn, provides better abrasion resistance. The braiding of the gasket and the staying power of Rutland adhesive cements combine to make sure this gasket lasts much longer without failing or coming off.
