Carabo stove - please help!

[tigerh2012]

Hi, I have inherited a carabo stove on my boat, does anyone know what size fire rope it should take?

There is no manual.

I can't find anything online.

Previous threads don't mention what size rope was needed, although there was mention that this make of stove doesn't have a seal the handle side... ?

These people sell the glass so they may sell the rope as well. worth a telephone call

I have a Carabo.    As you say, for some reason it doesn't have stove rope on the door handle side, which means that it is not easily controlled.    I got some (I think)  5mm round stove rope and glued it on that side with stove rope glue, giving a pretty good seal as it compresses.  You may need to slacken off the door handle (anticlockwise complete turn) to accommodate  it at first.  It needs re-gluing now and again though, there being no rope channel on that side.
