Well for crying out loud whatever you do don’t poke it with your finger!
:smack:
D’oh. Silly leechbabe burnt her finger investigating the contents of the furnace.
Really you would think my brain would process the following info
Ears - furnace making blowing sounds
Eyes - gas lamp is burning bright blue
Legs - can feel warm air blowing
and realise that the furnace is on and therefore HOT. Then it should have sent a message to my finger - Don’t Touch.
Somehow none of the above occured. Now my finger is ouchie 
So … did you figure out what that thing is? 
sounds way too much like something I’d do
Are you related to my aunt in North Carolina who 15-20 years ago wanted to see if the stove was hot? So she touched it. Not just a fingertip, either. She did a full, flat handplant on the burner and wound up with a lovely spiral burn.
Note to self: Electric stoves can be plenty hot, even when not glowing red.
As for your fucnace, what were you expecting to be in there, surviving the flames?
fucnace? My fingers must be tangled up tonight. “furnace” is what I meant to say
I just checked in to see if it turned out to be somebody’s leg.
