I didn't us a "seal". As long as your door fits relatively snug against the flange you should be fine. If you look at the picture of the door latch on Frank's 24x36 patio he just finished you will notice the latch hits a metal ramp inside the fb which will keep the door pulled snug against the flan...

Ok so "sealing" the firebox door (or a somewhat air tight seal) is not as important on the FB door...Like the CC door would be.. ??

ROAD TRIP

I thought I read on here somewhere that the rope/rtv combo won't work on the fire box door???? (only on the CC door) If this is the case how are you all sealing your FB door??

More pics

More progress lots of pictures to come
