Is there insulation sealing the door or just metal on metal? I looked at a used one and it seems to have gaps to let heat out with door closed.

Mine was new and there is no insulation on the oven door. It's not an oven to cook temperature sensitive food that's what I feel. I use my on low temp to keep food warm and it works great as I had a hard time once trying to maintain a temperature. The small cylinders can get frosted up and used up when cooking with the oven and the burners, it's best to use a larger propane bottle (2-5 gallon) to keep consistent gas flow if doing major cooking. It's a great stove for camping and basic cooking.

It has aluminum facing on both sides with foam inside. It is only about 1/4 inch thick. It seems to work pretty well as far as reducing the heat radiated by a metal door from direct sunlight but the insulation value is questionable. If I had it to do over, I would have filled the cavities of the door with fiberglass insulation and cover with this product. It improves the looks of the inside of the door. To answer your question, both sides are the same.

I had concerns about this also but this door has sealed soundly each time. Our dog goes out about 75 times a day ( he has to keep tabs on the neighborhood) and I have not noticed drafts or higher heat bills here in zero weather, Illinois winter. I was reluctant to spend the price of this door but it is very well made and I expect it will last. Between this door and an electric fence, our dog is a happy camper and can go out when he wants, 24 hours a day!

Take a peek at your unit. Has the metal plate that holds the door shut via magnet disappeared? My husband actually screwed the plate to the door and fixed the problem.

There are clear plastic pieces that you cut to fit around the hinges and they close up to the wall and act like a squeegee sealing up the side and across the bottom. The door closes on an L shape clear plastic. It works well and looks nice. No water leakage so far...it's been in since July this year.

The portion of the door that is exposed to the cooking volume of the oven appears to be all steel and glass. There is a dark gray material (insulation material?) surrounding the steel part of the door that might be some type of plastic, but it is not exposed to the cooking volume.

I feel like it is relatively quiet. I am able to sleep with it turning off and on with no problems and not be alarmed. BUT because the door doesn't sit completely "flush" when it's closed because it is plastic, it can make a vibration sound. When I applied pressure to the door with my hand, it stopped immediately. So, I recommend either taping it or possibly stuffing something very thin like a tissue behind the door's edge to prevent excess rattling. Have had it for about a year now and have no complaints.

Not without modifying the door. The insulation is made to fit inside of the metal door.

Yes, it is a sealed unit can be covered with insultion. I just had mine installed and they put the insulation around it and the fan is working great. Hope this helps.

Hi Lori,My answer would be to use the provided plastic panel and to make sure you use some type of thick caulking around the actual door itself (both inside and outside). I hope this helped! Kristie

I suggest you replace the oven as the door is getting very hot. The door insulation and or sealing mechanism is not working. You do not want you child near this oven when on!!!The heatshield product layered on the outside of the door should protect to the touch as it is rated to 500 degrees direct contact. But it will not be servicable over time. Then how do you adequately cover all surfaces.....Dump the oven!!!

It's a single walled container. There is no thermal insulation. The lid has a plastic seal which should prevent leakage, but I have not exposed it to pressure, so not sure how well it seals. Basically, the container and contents will reach temperature equilibrium with its environment at a normal rate.

The only way I have been able to completely and continuously seal out the hot & cold is to have at least one of the hard plastic slide-in doors in place, especially during our windy and tornado seasons. With only the soft flaps, a very slight amount of air may sneak by once in a while with gusty, stronger winds. We have this mounted in our kitchen dining area wall, and have recently had 1 and 2 ambient degree mornings, and the soft flaps have not allowed the cold air to pass. During the summer months of high temps and high humidity, the flaps seal very well, with air passage being a non-issue. We have tried many doors before this one, and none have measured up. The most important point regarding proper functioning of the door is the proper installation. Done well, the door performs admirably. It was only after 6 years of very regular, hard use by our four large dogs (and one small), that it needed to be replaced, as some of the weather strips had finally worn out. Hope this helps!

I installed it in a metal door. Wasn't the easiest thing in the world and you'll definitely need power metal cutting tools. The hole doesn't have to be perfect and getting rid of the insulation is a pain, but now I couldn't live without it !

It's a sheet metal on the outside n In side but the inside is line with foam like items.. That keep the temp with in..

Yes, there is a big opening behind the glass door areas. It should allow plenty of heat dissipation for components.

I purchased this door after lots of debate with my wife. I wanted another cheap door around the $100 range, but after some researching this door appeared to be the best on the market. After installing it, and using it for about 2 months in the coldest winter ever recorded in Maryland history the door is night and day compared to the cheaper doors. I even had the 3 flap "extreme" version of the cheaper door. The single door flap stays warmer then my metal insulated door! Is $350 hard to swallow, yes it is but you will not be let down by how well it is designed and built. My back room actually stays warm now as before it seemed like a window was always open with a draft. I purchased this door after lots of debate with my wife.
