Never too warm to touch, actually stays cool in most weather regardless of the temperature.

It doesn't get hot on the outside. You can put your hand on it with no rpblem.

The outside is not hot all all. Even after hours of smoking, it is cool to the touch. Very we'll made.

Not hot at all!! You can touch it and hardly feel any heat. Safe if kids around.

As others have said, it does not get hot except if you put your hand over the smoke hole on top.You will be surprised as to the construction of this smoker. It is well worth it. If your serious about a smoker, then this is the one you want. You can get two racks of pork ribs on the two shelves. You can if you need, buy a third rack for the unit or you can get the newer model which is a larger version of this one. Base that on how many people your going to be feeding.

I keep mine in the garage, but I've never noticed it getting warm or hot to the touch on the outside, admittedly. It always feels somewhat cool to the touch, even on hot days (I live south of the OBX, so every day is a hot, humid day).

The exterior does not get real hot. I have never worried about leaving the room with it on.

The exterior gets very hot to the touch. Mine is placed on a kitchen counter top and about five inches underneath the wooden cabinets. It operates here and I have no fear of fire.

Not sure of temp. It's hot but not enough that It would burn you. Works nice.

I've only had it a couple days and so far only used it for toasting. Outside gets warm but not hot but I assume it will get hotter when using for longer cooking foods.

I use mine every few months for around 7 hours to make hot sauce outside due to feums. I use it in the sun and have had no issues.

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

It is probably as hot as touching the outside of a hot oven. It is HOT, but not to the point it would leave a burn mark.

Yeah it runs pretty hot, I picked up a laptop cooling pad for mine and seems to do pretty well after that.

The cover and sides gets very hot to the touch- However, to answer your question, there is negligible impact on the ambient temperature

I don't remember any specific details (I would download the manual at the manufacture's website). The only thing that gets hot is about the top one foot or so.

It seems to run very hot, I could almost fry an egg on it! Btw- it's nit supposed to be exposed to direct rain.

I have no issue with outside getting hot when cooking. This is the best toaster oven I have owned -- would highly recommend.

Outside is cool to the touch, except for the window at top. That gets hot enough that you don't want to touch it.

Yes, it becomes very hot on the outside, like any other kettle made of metal.

Don't know about heat since mine was outside. Keep an eye on it for air leakage or you'll have a wet floor if inside.
