Does the metal get hot in the sun?

I have never seen it get hot. It may get warm, but it is reflective silver, and attached to a metal hose bib with water in it.

Yes some. BUT... If there is no hose or anything to let the water get hot; as soon as the pet touches it the cold water will cool it very fast.

It's relatively thin metal, so if the cast iron is hot it will get hot...but do will most anything else against cast iron

You get bang's from the metal when it heats or cools. It doesnt bother me at all

NO, it won't get that hot, you need a forge for that. Lead has a much lower melting point.

They get warm but not hot. I would think the worse that might happen is the plastic might yellow after years of being warm.

No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

Yes, it does get hot, but there is a fan. Mine has never overheated, but I haven't really put it to the test either.

I wouldn't. It gets pretty hot and the tin Gigi recommends using is metal not plastic.

If it is really hot , like coffee out of the pot hot, the metal can burn your hand .

No. It does not get hot, just warm. The person whom said theirs gets hot must have a defense to be one.

Mine gets really hot, that has never been a problem. It actually gets hotter that I had anticipated.

The metal sides and bottom get hot, but the handles on the unit & lid stay cool (they're plastic).

Not at all, Ive had mine for a while and it stays cool. its just a lil led in there so it doesnt get hot.

A little bit, but not really. I think that they use a different type of metal so it does not seem to transfer the heat.

So far they haven't. It gets pretty hot here too and the car gets so bad the metal on my seat belt burns me. Can't say for sure though because the weather got mild soon after they arrived so they don't have prolonged exposure.

On mine the part that surrounds the stoneware crock (with the circles on it) is metal and it does get hot. The stoneware gets hot too obviously. The handles and control knob are plastic but I've had mine on for hours at a time and those have never gotten hot.

Metal does conduct heat more than plastic so it would naturally get hotter than the plastic that k& n uses....it's expensive but it'll last a lifetime with the proper care of the filter
