Previous articles have let slip that the issues are often about running

Why would anyone run a woodburner with the door open?


we have a wood burner. One thing that puzzles me is that as soon as I
open the door to refuel, I can actually feel a blast of "heat" coming
into the room.

I have wondered whether the room would actually heat up more with the
door open. Clearly with the door shut that heat energy is going
somewhere else, but to where?
