I call this hack "Success has its price".
Needing to get a damp bonfire going with lots of fresh cut green material, I used my heat gun. Worked brilliantly. But a few minutes of leaving it unattended led to the melting of part of the black thermoplastic housing, and my nice DeWalt heat gun now looks a bit worse for wear!
Moral of the story: get a cheap "burner" (literally) heat gun if you want to make use of this hack. Leave the shiny yellow one in your workshop.......
To cap it off, a ground wasp, whose nest was nearby, stung me on the ear.
