WHy not use thin Kaowool in the 1/4" thickness between the bricks and the sheet
metal. Around here (Washington state) Transite is called CAB (Concrete Asbestos
board) board. We have several (3) sheets at school that will be disposed of week
after next. Next kiln will have sheet metal with thin Kaowool inside.

John,
You can still buy millboard. It is, of course, not made of asbestos. Don't
know exactly what it is made of but it is used for gasket material in
industrial applications. A sheet was cost about $50.00.

You can simply use heavy guage sheet metal tack welded in place....but the
space taken up by the old millboard will affect the seal of the door.
You'll probably have to do some redesigning and shimming. The transite was
probably 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick..... the sheet metal will be a fraction of
that. It'll take a little thinking .
