Hmm they not been round one of our camp fires.. They hot like the sun. Let's just say there's actually a Couple of Nasa needs that love riding dirt bikes and like to make HOT fires. Not sure what 90 of the stuff is they bring but makes for fun weekends :)

I'm just thinking half as hot as any camp fire is still plenty hot enough that I don't wanna touch it if given the opportunity to do so.
