Does anyone have any experience with putting gaskets on these stoves?

They are not gasketed but are cemented in the joints

Antique stoves were not "airtight" in the modern sense of using gaskets.

The doors were usually very well fitted so that there were no gaps when closed. The common test is to close the door on a dollar bill and see if it grabs it or if the bill can be slid along the door edges.

Over the years heat cycling will slightly warp the doors, and/or, frame. Plus, hinges wear loose, so the doors don't seal quite as well as they originally did. Most of the time, that slight air leakage is not a problem for how well the stove operates.

When it does get to where it is a problem, door hinges can have bushings installed to replace wear, and doors/frames can be filed to remove most, if not all the gaps.

Thanks Paul
I usually burn wood in my stove and the slight gaps make the wood burn much faster even with everything closed down.

The doors are machined to fit somewhat tight, they are made to function properly with the air that will leak through the doors and dampers
