She's not kidding. Woman seems comfortable in heat most salamanders
would avoid.:)

Mine reaches 1700-1750 turned down for baked hams. :)

Usually about 1900-2100, (I've run it higher for welding)but it's very
localized if your shop is set up well. My shop _has_ reached 120F at
rare times when I had poor ventilation. I can usually tell when it's too
hot by how my MS acts. (If I have to crawl out the door, it's too hot.:)
