Door Thermometer and gasket, and insulation.

I think you'll find the hottest part of the door's inner face is right in the centre. At least that's what the charring on a wooden door with an insulation panel in front of it tells me.

I agree, an interesting discussion.

One of the reasons I want to replace my gasket is that it helps to retain some more steam. Also I know my Handel's are not as hot when the gasket is in place.

I got the lavalock gasket and it has stuck pretty well. I wire brushed the door before putting it on, and it seems to have held up well. As I said before - it has made a huge difference in overnight temps.
