The same total amount of energy would have to be released into the room,
but to have any impact on your human comfort I think you'd want to open
the door and let the heat out quickly.
If you live in a trailer home with a broken furnace then you turn on the
broiler and leave the oven door wide open. You also light your
cigarettes off the oven's heating element. I have experience in such
matters.

The oven is electric, so there is no outside vent. After I'm done,
should I open the oven door, to let the heat into the room quickly, or
keep it closed so that it radiates heat for longer?
I think that the math says that the same energy will be put into the
environment regardless, since there is nowhere else for it to go. So
will the room be warmed by the same amount if i keep the door closed
vs open?
The things I think about when I'm hungry....
