Well, no need to rush. It's not like a monster is going to jump out and get you.
Hey guys
When I load my stove in the morning (after letting it go out the previous evening) I keep my door open for 10-15 minutes. It is only open about 1 inch or so. I leave it open until the probe temp says 400 and stove top is about 400. I then close it, wait a few minutes and then turn down the primary air. My instruction manual says it can stay open for up to 30 minutes.
What about you guys?

Interesting. I would have thought with more air it would take off and not smoke?!I've got a PE Super 27 and it starts much better with the door closed. I've tried leaving the door cracked and it just sits there and smokes. As soon as I close the door it takes off.

Almost word-for-word what I was going to post until I saw this from westkywood. It seems to have to do with the way the air is directed into the fire with the door closed. With the door open more air goes straight up and less feeding the fire. It also seems to fluff and cool the fire. With door closed the fire begins to build right away. With a couple pieces of Super Cedar, even large splits start nicely that way as long as it's pretty dry.I've got a PE Super 27 and it starts much better with the door closed.
