The flue section glows a nice red and too hot to get near. Not something to accidently cuddle but works well standing or sitting around in a large circle. It also makes for a good talking center piece. Surprisingly the area above to top cap is relatively cool and can easily hold your hand here, its just hard to stand close enough for any length of time. We call the one at work the chuffer as it produces a pleasant chuffing sound. I guess they are not particularly safe but very serious about pumping out heat. It is adjustable and shuts down in an instant. Which I also find surprising. Stephen, now you have mentioned it, $666 perfect.
