| I built a blast door to get the initial fire going, its made of thin sheet metal and a few cheap shelf brackets. The fire roars into life with the blast door. (fire is 2 minutes old) YouTube - ‪OrgasmoTheGreat's Channel‬‏ My oven is a barrel type with a flue inside the oven (blocked off with a flue damper) if you have a Pompeii type the same door could be used but on the outside.

| Dear Brickie whats the principal behind this? supplying the air down low while reflecting the heat? still letting the smoke to escape... Regards Cobblerdave |

| Brickie, If you get the opening sized just right your WFO might pant like mine does. YouTube - ‪Panting Wood Fired Oven‬‏ By increasing the size of the opening just a little bit this panting doesn't occur and with the opening at the present size it stops once the chimney gets hot. The panting only lasts for a few minutes. Bests, Wiley |

| I doubt mine will pant as my flue is in the top of the oven itself. It would be cool if it did though.

| Wiley, Is this a Pompeii with the blast door enclosed at the top/open at the bottom only? |

| Correct, it forces the air into the fire where its needed and makes it draw better.
