Jim,
The Teflon tape will not work and there are anti seize products that will go to very high temperatures.
I would recommend the following Anti-Seize compounds.
We use them in high temperature turbine engine environments.
You may be able to get these products at an industrial supply store.
Loctite Copper Based Anti Seize P/N C5-A
Loctite Nickel Grade Anti Seize P/N 77124
Dow Corning Molykote P37 Paste (Good up to +2000 Degrees F)
Grainger Nickel tape Sealant 2TE44
Do not use any of the Bostic or Jet-Lube Anti Seize products.
