Smoke smell around the exhaust connection, or visible soot near the starter fitting, usually means the seal has worn out and is no longer holding a tight connection. The Enviro Empress Pellet Stove Combustion Exhaust Starter Gasket (part 50-1396) replaces the worn seal between the pellet stove and the exhaust starter in compatible Enviro appliances.

Purpose

This high-temperature gasket seals the joint between the pellet stove body and the exhaust starter, keeping combustion byproducts routed through the venting system instead of escaping into the room.

Key Benefits

• High-temperature material built to hold up under repeated heating cycles
• Genuine Enviro factory part, not an aftermarket substitute
• Restores a tight seal, extending the service life of the surrounding venting components
• Direct-fit replacement for the original factory gasket

Other Notes

Inspect this gasket whenever the stove is serviced. A seal that has hardened, cracked, or compressed unevenly should be replaced promptly, since a worn gasket at this joint can allow combustion gases to leak into the living space rather than vent outdoors.

While accessing this area, it is worth checking any nearby door gaskets or seals in the venting path for similar wear, since these components tend to age together and are simplest to inspect during the same service visit.
