I haven't used a gasket there. Are you sure the flange is flat?

You can use a soda can if you like also. I personally didn't use one on my last set-up and it was good to go.

stainless roof flashing works wonders for flange gaskets

Re: hmt style gasket how to?

If you can find a sheet of copper that would be ideal. Soft, malleable metal that doesn't melt till around 1800* F. If not I'd go for the stainless roof flashing. Aluminum melts at 1224*F, pretty low, and can be lower if its alloyed.
