I recently purchased a house with a Reading Juniata RSFD-10 stove in the basement. I lite the stove the other day. After it was running for a little while my carbon monoxide detector went off and there was smoke escaping through the two doors. I looked at the two doors the gaskets are in bad shape and missing in some places. Would anybody be able to tell me what kind and size gasket would be needed to replace these two. Are there any other gaskets that I should also replace when I do these.
Thanks for any help the you can provide

Yes do replace those gaskets. BUT...
Do NOT light another fire until you find out why your Draft is insufficient to draw the exhaust fumes out the chimney.
The stove is not supposed to push out positive...it is to pull in negative pressure. The leaky gaskets would let room air (leak) go in if draft was correct.
Take a piece of old gasket with you when you go out to buy more, they can verify it's size for you.
