The other source of heat is the scat tube for the rear heat vent. The tunnel at the moment gets warm to the touch, which in the winter isn't all bad. I plan to wrap with fiberfrax in the spring.

While the tunnel does get warm to the touch, I have not experience it getting too hot too touch like some of the early builders experienced.
