Hello!
Just wondering if any of you would know if there would be a safety issue to placing a CHE in a wooden enclosure instead of on top of it? We have a built a wooden enclosure (similar to the Crossfire enclosures), with a wood top, about the size of a 40 gallon tank. Because it's always so cold in our house, I want to limit heat escape as much as possible (which is why we didn't go for a mesh top). I'm just concerned that the CHE is going to get too hot and do damage to the wood or be a fire hazard. Any advice?
