The top seems very hot. Is this normal?

Yes, it stays warm all the time. I moved away from my bed because it warmed the room up enough to be uncomfortable at night.

I am not sure if it is supposed to be hot. Mine, I just checked, is warm. I'm afraid I can't help you anymore than that.

The cool setting is not cool. It is warm. Pretty comfortable. The high setting is pretty hot.

Well theres different temperatures. The highest is 450. And thats really hot. So if you don't want that high keep it low

most of the heat comes from the tubes... and they are in the open. I wouldn't touch them after it has been on for a while.. they are very hot.

I haven't had an issue yet, but it is just now starting to get hot. This will be my first summer with it. It has been awesome so far though.

It does tend to get pretty hot but not horrible. I have mine partially under cover from the tiki bar roof which helps.

The temperature does adjust higher or lower. It gets pretty hot; over 400 degrees.

I haven't noticed it getting that hot, so I would think it would be fine. I would keep an eye on it and make sure it stays dry, though.

If its actually too hot to touch then thats bad, but if its warm I think thats normal. I tested mine by turning it up to 6 for a few minutes and thats all it took to get it warm. I supposed if I left it for hours at 6 it would feel quite warm. I don't think its a big deal.

It is extremely warm, or I should say it is actually kind of hot inside when the weather is not cool enough, but it is not reversible.

The top does get very warm, not boiling hot. When in use I tend to place unit a little towards front of counter.

Mel, good question. The case/computer does get hot but I have not experience any overheating. Because I have the same concern, just recently I started removing the upper back cover to allow air to flow around my laptop when in use for a long period of time. You might consider this an annoyance but I love the design of the case and how it protect my laptop.

It depends on outside temp, I don't know if it's normal but sometimes i get almost increase of 10psi on super hot sunny day.

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 haven't had any HUGE fires out of it yet, but I wouldn't say hot...very warm, but not scorch-your-hand hot. However, there isn't much to the entire pit, so I can imagine the top gets pretty toasty during an extended fire session

Have no issues with mine. My wife has already used it 4 times. If anything when we put it up at high she says it's too hot
