The wooden handles sometimes get hot. Is this normal?
Right now the left side door wooden handle is too hot to hold, the front door handle is warm. Once before the front door handle was too hot and I had to use a glove to open it.
Will the wooden handles catch in fire if they get too hot?
The stove is 400F on the top hotplate and almost 300F on the top soapstone.
