Well thankfully I was warned of it so I am in the habit of opening my door just a couple inches for a few seconds. Tonight I went out to check if I needed more wood for overnight, I noticed the temp was 187F (cycle had ended at setpoint of 185F). When I opened the door about 2 inches and paused like always (thank God), I heard air rush in making a soft whistle sound and then the superheated gases that remained trapped by the back baffle flashed over. flames shot out over 1 foot in 3 directions (not on the hinged side). Had I not been in the habit of slowly opening the door I would have been burned. CAUTION !!!! Don't be in such a hurry and REMEMBER you are dealing with something that can seriously burn you! Always open your OWB door SLOWLY, wear gloves, and stand behind the door---NOT next to where it opens.......with that said.......BURN BABY, BURN !!!!opcorn:
