I have a 25 yr old Hardwick propane gas stove. Works well but the gasket
for this oven door is shot. I can't find a replacement for it. It is a
rubberish looking gray strip that attaches to the cabinet and the oven door
shuts up against it. It looks similar to weather stripping. Several stores
can't find a replacement and none can offer me a universal type thing that I
could cut to fit, etc.

Anyone able to advise on whether there is stripping available that I could
buy and fashion my own? I've searched the web quite thoroughly and can't
find anything like this, even in a universal type thing. Obviously, heat
tolerance and non-flammability are key considerations.

Thanks.

Try a woodstove shop. They will have lots of hi-temp gaskets, and something
should fit. They will be rope-type and not rubberish, but should work fine
if you can find a good size.

Drill 1/8" hole in each corner of the oven frame or range door.
Measure the hole to hole dimensions and choose appropriate gasket
length from the available
selection. The replacement gasket stretches between and mounts into the
holes created,
using the gasket retaining clips factory installed onto each end of the
gasket.

These are good for non-self cleaning ranges.
