Previous articles have let slip that the issues are often about running
wood burners with the fire doors open, and that they are not such a
problem with the doors closed.

Why would anyone run a woodburner with the door open?


It makes it blaze up and deliver a lot of heat quickly.

Not if it's like most/many. Opening the doors *stops* the draught
being drawn through the burning wood. If you shut the doors and open
the dampers (which are *below* the grate) then you get a good draught
right through the burning wood.
