This is not a perfect world thing had to shut down because ash pan door gasket fell apart and was leaking badly. Not quite out of control bad but bad enough I did not want to be sleeping with it going. I let the cement tack up for 10 minutes like the bottle said got the gasket in and wiped up excess. Put tape ( plastic oacking tape on stove where gasket sits and closd the door to have it dry in place. I was hoping an hour or so would do it.

No sense in not sharing my stupidness . 2 weeks ago fire went out and noticed glass in VC2310 had slid and gasket dropped from across top letting air in. Instead of pulling door off and laying flat got idea of using stove cement to hold gasket on, seemed reasonable. There was a little bind on glass tightening screws that caused glass to crack first heat. Trowelled stove cement across glass while hot and cement set almost immediately without falling off. Burning steady for 2 weeks like this haven't ordered the $100 replacement glass, just can't see pretty fire on left side.
