I too will talk again about how HOT the pipe gets.
On several occasions I have demonstrated by simply holding the pipe in my hand while the Generator is running.. I have often take it off with the generator running.. I use pliers to pull the pin, then lift the top stack off with bare hands, unhook the "Shock cords" and "kick" the metal pipe out of the adapter.. Leather shoe, not a tennis shoe. By the time I get the top 2 sections in the bag the bottom is cool enough to bag.
I'm not sure I'd want to try that with a drain eves drain pipe even though the law of physics that keeps the black pipe cool should still apply. But metal conducts heat and that.. concerns me.
