How hot does the exterior surface of this oven get? Will you burn your hand if you touch the outside of the oven while cooking?

It is definitely hot but not to the point were you are going to get extreme burns. Putting your hand on a weber bbq will result in very hot temperatures and burn so I dont think you are looking at anything out of the ordinary for a wood burning fixture. I have touched it while hot and not experienced a burn affect but would not advise leaning on it or laying your hand on in for any prolonged period of time.

The front doors to both ovens get pretty hot. I would not advise touching them when cooking.

The oven has a maximum temprature rating of 610 degrees Fahrenheit internal according to a sticker placed by the manufacturer. They have put a protective grill on the sides for this reason. The oven does get hot but since it is a metal style oven and it exhausts heat in the upper chamber it will not get up to the 750+ degree range that a traditional brick pizza oven uses but having such a large smoking chamber this oven is much more versatile. If you have kids around then you should consider appropriate supervision when using the oven for several hours.

Gets pretty hot, but I usually wearing oven mitts to add charcoal or wood chips, so I don't really know.

You can't touch the outside they created a barrier by adding two metal baskets on either side. So on the outsides there's about 2 inches between the oven and the metal band basket

Very little. It gets hot to the touch. Ours began malfunctioning after about 8 months of use. I would not recommend this oven.

Just remember that this oven gets very hot and is a danger to anyone coming in contact with it. It would be safer to use it outside with a Coleman camp stove and not use it inside of an enclosed camper. I would not use it inside of our trailer.

The handle does get hot after a few minutes. I usually use a towel or an oven glove to hold the handle. I am using an outdoor, high BTU burner and use high heat, so that may make a difference.

If you are wondering if it is a separate entity, no. This stove is basically like a miniature version of one that you would have at home. I do not recall the outside of the oven getting super hot. Of course it will be a little warm to the touch. I highly recommend this for camping. I was super pleased with it, as well as everyone in our camping group.

I did not do the outside and it has been fine. But even if it rusted a little I would not worry about it it is on the outside. But I have had no problems with that. If I did I would rub a little oil on it while it was hot. I cook on a electric stove so I wouldn't do the bottom where the heat source hits but I would add a little oil on the upper outside.

I don't think it would melt if left in the oven, however it would also be 400 degrees.. Totally defeating the point of its purpose. It works great for cook-top use. you can leave it on the entire time. As long as its not on a very small pan, where the handle is over the burner, then it will get too hot to handle. The handle will not burn or melt with reasonable use, but it will get very hot if exposed to the burner or left in the oven. Just common sense.

Mine got so hot I'm returning it. The cord was hot and countertop oven was very, very hot. In my opinion, this does pose a safety issue. I wasn't going to wait to see if it caused a fire.

No, not in the least. The outside of the oven does get hot and warms the immediate area, but not the entire room let alone the entire house.

well, the body of the oven gets hot but not the handle. i have it on a counter top and find myself using it all the time. i use my stove oven for storage now. i use the convection setting alot as it is faster than the regular oven. i love it and it's a great thing as it is just for 2 people. fyi they had it on hsn too.

First-These are great little ovens-I have one for my employees and one at home-highly recommend. Yes it does get hot on the outside, but then again you will need to spend hundreds of dollars to get an insulated model. The interior dimensions are as follows: depth-12" remember, the back is curved and this dimension will accommodated a curved pan-not a 12" rectangular one width- 11 3/4" height- 5 1/4 inches with grate in normal position. Turn the grate up side down and you have 6 3/4 inches. Regards, Keith

Gosh I've had them for awhile now and not sure. What I can tell you is that I've taken stoneware out of a 425 degree oven and it might get a little hot but the versatility of 5 fingered gloves is worth it. I've never gotten burned using them although mits will provide extra heat protection.

The oven is very well insulated so the short answer is no. In fact, the oven stays warm inside for a very long time after it is shut-off. NOTE: Any appliance that generates heat will warm up the area around it but this oven is small and well-insulated so the impact is negligible.

Want to burn your hand ? Put it in the oven..use a cast iron pan if you want to put it in the oven.

Cool? No. But it only gets very warm on all plastic surfaces. The inner metal are where the bread goes is VERY HOT!!! But yes you can touch the OUTSIDE of the toaster and possible not get burnt. I myself, was able to touch all of the plastic areas while the toaster was in use and I did not get burned at all. Duh, but keep kids away from toasters. PERIOD!

The oven does get hot depending on how long you are cooking. I think for a small child it may be a little hot. However, I don't think it gets as hot as some of the other ovens/toaster ovens on the market.

I suggest you replace the oven as the door is getting very hot. The door insulation and or sealing mechanism is not working. You do not want you child near this oven when on!!!The heatshield product layered on the outside of the door should protect to the touch as it is rated to 500 degrees direct contact. But it will not be servicable over time. Then how do you adequately cover all surfaces.....Dump the oven!!!
