Replacing the igniter so you don't have to remove the window would seem to
be the best solution.

I'm using the gasket supplied by Empire, their part number 712098. The
local serviceman who is an Empire dealer said, "Oh those things don't
last" and he threw it away. I asked him if it would be ok without the
gasket and he said yes, but of course, it isn't ok because it leaves a
space of about 1/16 of an inch between the inspection window and the
firebox.

I've not seen what you have so I can't give a perfect answer, but there
are many types of insulation that may work. For wood burning stoves
there is a braided rope that fits in a groove. For boilers and heaters
there is stuff on a roll, about 1 inch wide that you can configure as
needed. Worth checking into.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check on it at the hardware store
tomorrow. Here's a link to the gasket:
