Is there a need to use some sort of gasket with this - rope or otherwise?

I used no gasket I made it with the barrel and the kit and some stove pipe out a window. No gasket needed. Great seal in a garage no smoke and I had it about 70 degrees with a 40 degree outdoor temp.

I just used a tube of clear silicone sealant that I bought at Lowes. I got the idea from an old trick we used on our racing engine header gaskets. This stove will heat to about 450 degrees and the silicone holds up well. If it worked on exhaust headers it is plenty good @ 450 degrees. I hope this was of help.

You can, but you'll have to cut down the rope it comes with for the top part if needed or use another rope with the length you need.

yes, the rubber gasket is essential. I recommend you return it immediately. you will be disappointed otherwise.

No. Make sure to remove all of it. The dorman should have a gasket built into it.

Not rope but a nylon cord that is 1/4 " that runs the full length and sticks out some. So you can thread it easier.

Yes! You just need an adjustable wrench to tighten the metal pieces around the rope.

Yes, use the one that came with it. A little Teflon tape & don't over tighten the fitting. Treat a tool properly & you will get many use's from it. This is Not a heavy duty or commercial unit. Treat it as such & you will get many years from it. IMO.

It depends where is your min/max level, if it is topped I would recommend extracting a little bit, remember that gaskets leak if you exceed the max level

From the information you have provided, YES! Don't forget some Teflon tape when attaching all of your air fittings etc.

I accidently used it without the gaskets and it worked fine. No leaks or anything. If worse comes to worse, try it without the "ring".

yes gasket is included, but the size of such is a little off - slightly larger in some areas, holes do not perfectly match either. as mentioned use marine grade silicone and you should be fine.

i wouldn't. this is more to keep heat out rather than in. exhuast gasses would go through this. they make exhuast sleeves if you want to fix it

None is provided, so it depends on how you use it. I just tied the ropes to a tree branch, so none was needed. (I took it down after the grands left and stored it for the next visit. Works great that way.)

Seems obvious, but make the valve is completely off before attaching. Also ensure that the o-ring/gasket is still intact, if it is damaged or missing, you'll have virtually no barrier to stop gas from leaking out around the threads.

only used plastic spacers. if you wanted some extra assurance along with the spacers you could use zip ties.

I used a pair of wire cutters; if the ends get flat a bit, it doesn't impeed the performance of the rope at all. Once cut, you place the cap back on the end.

No, just twist it around the pipe and used little wire ties to hold it. I then covered it with a self sticking insulation from a ace hardware.
