Description
xLavaLock's 1000°F Tadpole Seal is a high-temperature fiberglass P-gasket engineered to keep smoker and stove doors sealed under extreme heat while staying flexible for easy installation.
Designed for wood-burning stoves, smokers, and any high-heat enclosure, this white fiberglass tadpole or P-shaped gasket resists continuous temperatures up to 1,000°F. The profile measures 1-1/4" wide by 3/8" thick and ships as a 12-foot roll with a soft outer jacket and a solid core for shape retention. It creates a dependable seal to limit heat loss, smoke leakage, and drafts without hardening or breaking down under prolonged thermal stress.
How does this gasket hold up at very high temperatures?
The LavaLock fiberglass material is formulated for continuous exposure up to 1,000°F, making it suitable for stove and smoker applications that generate sustained heat. The core and jacket combine to maintain compression and form while resisting thermal degradation.
- Rated continuous temperature: 1,000°F
- Fiberglass construction resists melting and charring
- Solid core preserves profile at elevated temperatures
Will it seal irregular or warped doors effectively?
The tadpole (P) profile provides a rounded, compressible seal that conforms to uneven surfaces and compensates for minor warping. Its soft outer jacket compresses to fill gaps while the internal core prevents the gasket from collapsing completely.
- P-shaped cross-section for flexible contact
- Compresses to accommodate small irregularities
- Maintains spring-back for consistent sealing over time
How is the gasket installed and secured?
Installation is straightforward: the strip can be glued with high-temperature stove adhesive or mechanically fastened under rivets, screws, or a plate system. Choose adhesive-only for a clean look or mechanical fastening when extra hold is needed for heavy-use doors.
- Compatible with high-temp stove adhesive
- Can be tucked under rivets, screws, or clamp plates
- Cut to length with utility knife or shears
What dimensions and packaging should I expect?
The gasket is supplied as a continuous 12-foot roll with a cross-section measuring 1-1/4" wide by 3/8" thick. The white finish aids visibility during fitting and makes it easy to align the profile during installation.
- Roll length: 12 feet
- Cross-section: 1-1/4" x 3/8"
- Color: white fiberglass jacket
