I've spent the last week or so in a 130 degree (at it's cooler parts) kitchen at work. The best part of my day is the 30 or so seconds I get to spend in the walk in freezer looking for ranch dressing.
And I'm not even a cook, they stand for hours on end over open flames.
By the way, anyone thinking about going out to a restaurant to cool off when it's hot...just remember that the cooks sweat too, and when over multihundred degree glames, they sweat a LOT. Put the pieces together there and mayhaps you will reconsider your eating out habits when there's a heatwave on.
Yeah, no kidding. You should try installing a burner into a hole in the bottom of the regenerator of a glass furnace. Radiant remperature coming out of the hole is about 2800F. Skin temperature of the furnace is about 600F. Air temperature is irrelevant. The only way to survive is wear a lot of clothing, get the job done fast and get the hell out of there.
Speaking of Hell, the inside of a glass furnace is probably the closest approximation of "the lake of fire" ever made.
