Muttley - have to say that a) you haven't greatly added to the debate here and b) if you are going to criticise people's use of punctuation, you should first sort out your own. This is the second time in five minutes that your use of commas has given me cause to chuckle. I hope this isn't going to turn into the grammar and punctuation police forum.

Aluminium is a good heat conductor so it's not a surprise that it gets hot.

I've never had it get that hot, but it's been hot enough that I couldn't comfortably hold my leathered up legs against the frame.
