Ok ..this may sound stupid BUT....when you hook a leaf blower up to the stove exhaust you are moving a large volume of air. Even with the door open, (unless it is blocked), it would seem the vacuum created would pull the door closed even tighter. To vacuum air OUT....you have to have air coming IN from somewhere. If the combustion chamber/exhasut is sealed. Where does the air come from?

It will also find its way in from the air wash and the area around the exhaust motor spindle, the hopper if not gasketed, and on a lot of stoves the place that the igniter wires pierce the air intake.
