I use a long strip about 3" wide and with as table knife tuck it into the gap in my front door. It does a really good job of blocking the draft. It is very easy to remove when I need to open the door and just as easy to replace.

I doubt the cook had a door here originally, so she likely roasted in the summer up there and was a bit warm in the winter, as heat rises. I keep the slit under the door blocked for all seasons with batting.
Got to change it out this spring though as it's pretty gross after 6 years of dust, dead flies, debris and other yuck.

you all are so clever. I was using paper towels in my manufactured home to keep bugs out of the big crack in the door between door and frame. definitely going to use some batting.

I use my un opened precut battings in the interior wells of my basement windows for extra insulation , since they are only single pane windows. Really helps keep my basement sewing room much warmer, plus they are stored neatly stacked.
