So, I'm sitting here in Eastern PA cranking up my insert getting ready for the polar vortex plunge tonight and tomorrow. Weather stations are saying we might get 40 to 50 mph wind gusts so power outages are a strong possibility. My stupid question is...when you get down to coaling stage, has anyone ever just left the door wide open to heat a room? I only ask because every time I get to coaling stage and open the door to rack the coals forward the heat blast is very intense. I know you wouldn't consider doing this with a firebox full of flames, but I wondered if during the coaling stage (during a power outage)...if you left the door open would the heat just pour out and heat up the room? Just curious if anyone ever does this?
