Break-in fire in an insert -- use the blower, or no? closing the door?

We are doing our break-in fires on our new insert. Lopi republic 1750i.
The Lopi manual says for the break-in fire, to keep the door a little ajar so that the gasket won't adhere to the paint as the paint cures.

So with the door ajar we can't do anything to control the air or get secondary burns or anything, right?

Should we use the blower at all during these break-in fires?

The stove came with a card from stove-bright regarding the paint, that says to bring it up to 400 degrees and then 600 for a period of time.

Fire's been burning now a couple hours and it's up to 300 or so. Seems to have taken a while.

We are waffling on whether to latch the door already or what. Any ideas or advice on that?

(A shout out to Pagey who has given me a LOT of great advice on this stove which is very similar to his Endeavor, thanks!)

Thanks guys. (and good luck, Ken!) It did end up getting up there, to 600, which is what the paint curing directions said to get to. To me, it didn't really seem like the smell got too bad until it got up in temp like that. And it didn't really stink us out of the house too bad. We did leave the door unlatched but not really ajar through that. Tried the blower just briefly. We are letting it cool down entirely now and will do the next break in fire tomorrow I guess. (ETA it has cooled down enough so we are doing it now) We decided to go with the Chimney sweep online's "handout" on break in fires and do three of them.

He doesn't really talk about temps but I guess we will try to keep them around or under that same temp?

So I guess it turned out OK after our initial hesitation - learning curve.

The wood should be fine -- for now -- we've got some nice dry split stuff that's been sitting there about 5 yrs! Not a lot of it though so I anticipate possibly having wood issues in the future - just not now! Got our final quote on taking down our big maple today, they will probably do it later in the week and they will buck it into 16" lengths even, (so they say...) It should be a lot of cords for next year or the following. And lots of splitting workout for us I guess. Guy kept telling us we wouldn't want the big trunk because it would be too hard to split up, but I told him we would just have to figure it out then, because we want all that wood.
