<font face="Arial">Dean, may I gently and respectfully suggest that
you may be a bit mistaken in your understanding of what heat is?
</font><br>
<br>
<font face="Arial">Heat is a measure of total kinetic energy of
molecules. It is not a "thing" in its own right.<br>

<pre wrap="">Radiant heat works not by warming the air, though there is some of that, but
by radiating the heat, duh. <span class="moz-smiley-s3" title=";-)"><span>;-)</span></span> Objects with mass in view of the radiant
heat source absorb the heat and began to warm in temperature. The closer the
object to the source, the more heat is absorbed. A piano with lots of mass
sitting very close to the source will absorb lots of heat. While air, with
negligible mass, will not absorb much heat. So measuring the air's
temperature will not be any kind of indicator as to how much heat the piano
is getting.</pre>
