Orodruin was far more than a natural volcano - Sauron seems to have extended his own power into it, and was able to control its fires. It seems to have lain dormant when Sauron was away from Mordor, and sprung into life when his power grew.

If this is true, then Sauron definitely missed a chance to make himself a bit more difficult to kill. He should've told Mt Doom to cool off once he had forged the Ring. Duh. No super hot fires = a very safe Ring.
Just think about it. If the only way to unmake the Ring was in Mt Doom then what would Gandalf and company have done if Sauron "killed" Mt Doom?
