I'd get a local welder to do a rectangular of angle iron and weld some hinges to one side and hang a flat iron door to that with handle/lock on the other side, much like a firebox door, then mortar that in. You'd have to have some back bracing welded to the angle iron to go behind the supporting blocks too like a 4" flange all the way around to offset the frontal weight.
