Even with the gallery well insulated some of its heat can be lost via the uninsulated face and sides that lead to the flue. Reducing the conduction between it and the inner dome with your rope separation should further slow heat transfer. Another method is to use a lightweight gallery which reduces the heat sink effect by lowering its thermal mass.

I hope everyone is well!
I put up a cumaru horizontal board fence and intentionally bought way to much cumaru, my plan was to use the excess for future projects. Here's one of them. Time for new doors for the WFO. One for the outer oven opening and two for the wood storage below.
Cobbled this together yesterday, gave it a coat of Ipe oil and let it sit. For this one, I'll add a sheet metal shield to the back side, the cumaru cleats on the back will provide a gap between the wood and metal. Once all three doors are done I'll fashion door handles. No thought went into this to make it amazing. The thought was to get it done. And I'm happy with it.

Got the two other replacement doors for the wood access openings done today.
Doors are about 24" wide and 26" high.
Dry fit, using a twig to wedge it in place.
Ipe oiled up and put to bed for the night.
