Turn the door latch striker screw in or out to tighten or
loosen the door latch.
Over time, the gasketing around the doors will com-
press, and the latch may need adjustment. To adjust the
latch, loosen the small locking nut, extend the striker
screw one turn while keeping the striker screw from
turning. (Fig. 8) Keep making adjustments a little at a
time until the setting is right.
The front doors of the stove should close securely and
tightly, when the handle is in the closed position. When
the latch is properly adjusted there should be a slight
resistance as the doors are moved to the completely
closed position.
The damper handle is attached to the damper rod
with a set screw bearing against a flat spot on the rod.
Check the set screw periodically for tightness; tighten
as needed.
The Intrepid uses fiberglass rope gaskets to make a
tight seal between some parts. With use, particularly on
those parts that move, gaskets can become brittle and
compressed, and can begin to lose their effectiveness.
These will need periodic replacement.
The sizes of replaceable gasket are listed below, along
with their applications.
5/16” wire gasket The griddle to the stove top
5/16” The damper to the upper fire-
back; the front doors to the stove
front; and the door halves to
each other

Refer to Page 0 for information on replacing the glass
panels or its gasket.
If you need to change a gasket, first obtain an appropri-
ate replacement from your Vermont Castings Dealer.
Wait until the fire is out and the stove has cooled. Be
sure to follow the standard safety procedure for working
with dusty materials: Wear safety goggles and a dust
mask.
The procedure for replacing the gaskets is the same,
regardless of the gasket location.
1. Remove the existing gasket by grasping an end and
pulling firmly.
. Use a wire brush or a screwdriver to clean the chan-
nel of any remaining cement or bits of gasket. Re-
move stubborn deposits of cement with a cold chisel
if necessary. (Fig. 30)

Remove gasket then clean channel with wire brush.
3. Determine the correct length of the appropriate-sized
gasket by laying it out in the channel. Allow an extra
5-51 mm (1-”) and mark the spot to be cut.
4. Remove the gasket from the channel, place it on a
wood cutting surface, and cut it at the marked spot
with a utility knife. Twist the ends slightly to keep the
gasket from unraveling.
