You could maybe put a cold pizza stone underneath the base, after you open the pot, to absorb excess heat?

We don't have a fan oven either, and I wish we'd spent the extra 30 quid to have one. Raising the pot up a bit so that it's closer to the top of the oven helps, also water in the bottom of the oven helps.

Anyone got any tips for baking in non-fan ovens? I moved house recently, and have been cooking sourdough in a cast iron pot at 250°C. This worked well in a fan oven, but in a non fan oven the bottom tends to burn and the top crust is not fully done.
