Our stove has a screen that hooks over the door hinges when the door is 
open.  Of course, for efficiency, it's not a great idea, but early and 
late in the season, when it's not too cold, it gives that fireplace 
feeling for a few.  Also, using the screen is a great way to cool the 
stove down rapidly when there are no more windows to open...the fire 
inside burns out much faster.
