Looks like it is worth trying; not too much to invest

Is the foam sealed inside the door? What about fumes?

I did a quick search and found something about glass foam and kilns. Do you know anything about that?

It looks really porous to me, so maybe it's a matter of the seal being created at the inner panel of the door sandwich, IDK

Very interesting - I wonder what their maximum operating temperature capability would be.

Thickstrings,that link mentioned them being fired at 1600F.
The oven door in my original link was foamed glass sandwiched between steel plates.

Yeah, Its powdered glass so my guess is that it is inert. I suppose that it would be all right for how the guy in the first thread is using it.....just a door to keep the heat in his oven for baking. Typically pizza ovens are brought up to 750-800f for 90 second "neopolitan" style pizza. After the pizza, the oven will stay hot for a time, depending on how well the oven is insulated. Generally, a bake door is used without any direct contact to flame, its just to keep the heat in so that the oven can slowly decline in temp and various other things, "bread, roasts, ect." can be cooked, without any flame, later or the next day.
