Check the steam tables if you are planning on getting water that hot. It has 
been nearly 50 years back, but as I recall we were examining heat transfer 
in nucular reactors at at temperature/pressure numbers like 400F/3000psi. 
The fixtures to do this are very pricey!

It would be far more practical to block a clothes iron up on a couple of 
bricks in a cardboard box to reduce the drafts. Clamp (put another brick on 
them!) the reference and subject to the sole of the iron.
