pan gasket

[steve J]

I have a 2x3 evaporator and I have always used a 1x2 inch pan gasket. My question is this. The top rail that I actually lay this pan gasket on is one ich wide. So when I use a 2 inch gasket I am technically putting one inch of gasket under the pan and inbetween the pan and the fire. Should I cut that gasket to be only 1 inch wide seems to me I would get more heat to the pan that way?

yes u could cut it or can it stick to the outside ?

Cut it and you will have enough for another year when this one is shot.
