I had in mind positioning it close to the area where a problem is suspected,
then firing for a minute or two and checking the temperature rise after
shutting down.  Not even I'm crazy enough to get close to an energized TC. :>

But seriously folks, your primaries would make dandy induction heaters so I
wouldn't be surprised if things did warm up when placed close to them.
