Installing replacement SS draft door

I installed a new SS Draft door. The new door has an air gap between egg and door. When removing the old rusted door, I noticed a sealant. What type of sealant should I use to seal the new SS draft door. Would plain old Silicon work, or is there a sealant made for the higher heat temps?

    Banker John,
    Any auto parts store should have higher heat silicone that could be used without issue.

    <p />Banker John,[p]The intsall does need something behind the vent to fill air gaps. Using regular silicone could/would work since it can handle pretty high temps anyway, but Gordo is right and high temp silicone would be better. In the picture you see me adding a red high temp silicone - I had it around the house, so I used it, but try to find the black color since it won't show as much. I added a little ash to this to tone down the bright color after the vent was attached.[p]Tim
