Burned, like in above the combustion point or 654.8 degrees. The WS one gets to 424degrees, The Tippi dose get far above those numbers but they have a model now that has a temp. control. On another point, but found in my short research for this reply is that at the proper combustion point (like a modern incinerator) almost no toxic gases were emitted, always thought the opposite!
Hey Dave
I know I’m late to the post but, I don’t think anyone else has suggested you try what is essentially a filet knife.
5" or 6" slim blade. Keep a wet-stone on hand to keep it sharp. I used a metal straight edge to make straight cut lines in 2" pink or blue foam. I found I could carve rocks or vertical bluffs that looked quite nice to me. You can cut into your rock face and flick out a piece of foam. Take this piece and slide it down the mountain to make it look like a piece that has fractured off and slid down the slope. My first attempt at mountain building was the one on the curve. It is made with plaster cloth over crushed paper and cast rocks attached to the mountain face. I much prefer carving the foam with a knife and adding only a few cast rocks.
Have fun.
