ok so once i am in the amber stage of burn i notice that i get A LOT of heat coming out of this thing but is it good heat ? by opening the door does it turn it into a heat stealing "fireplace" where its just causing a draft and pulling the heat out. i am just wondering



thanks
 
Yes, by leaving the door open it is pulling the air that you all ready heated up the chimney. Although it may feel warmer right in front of the stove, it is very inefficient.
 
Yes.
