Re: Fabricated my insulated door.

be carefull with backdrauft where the fire comes out looking for your hair off your head .. once you take door down..keep low down keep out of way of it.. you might get away with it once twice maybe 100 times but watch out it will try get you

Even with a draft door with oxygen flow?

Re: Fabricated my insulated door.

Im going to put this puppy to use tomorrow. Any advice? When do you put it on? at the beggining? or throughout the entire process? I am aware of the issues of overheating faster than normal so i will be cautious about that.

Just made a draft door.

Aluminum sheet about 4mm thick. Gate handle and Stainless Steel carriage bolts.

No. I have one on my oven door in my kitchen. I would not hesitate for a second to use it on my future WFO door.
Sorry for the confusion.........��

If it is good enough for my oven door, I would assume it would be good enough for my oven door! (WFO)

You have one on your WFO door?

Re: Fabricated my insulated door.

Its funny how i cant find any info on this on the net



Does it not bother anyone else how the Fiber ropes let out fibers and are so loose? This is not good for food laying around in the oven?

I'm not entirely sure what you expect to find. I did find this quote on a website:
"In self-cleaning electric ranges, the oven temperature rises to approximately 875 degrees, the temperature needed to burn off food soil. When the temperature reaches approximately 560 degrees, the oven door locks automatically and the lock light comes on. At the end of the cleaning cycle, the oven turns off automatically. When the oven has cooled down to approximately 520 degrees, the lock is released, the locked light goes out, and the oven door can be opened. The self-cleaning pyrolytic oven is available in both electric and gas ranges."

This was supposedly a quote from a whirlpool faq that no longer appears to be available. At any rate, it seems that self-cleaning ovens get in the 900* range, and stay there for some time. Clearly the gaskets can withstand that temperature, because they do.

I agree. I'd have to be convinced it is safe before using it.

Im fine with that i just didnt want paint where food would be.

Re: Fabricated my insulated door.

According to the Internet, a self-cleaning oven can get over 900* f. I would think the gasket would be rated to handle that temp. Just a guess.

Re: Fabricated my insulated door.

Thanks for the info, my door is tight also, however ive got lots of extra gas oven door rope gasket which is not loose fibers, id like to use this but i dont know what the temp rating is, and apparently neither does the manufacture.
