Speedster, I have a MLH and there are times that the handle gets hot. There definitely is heat transfer. Depending on the type of cook, sometimes I can grab the handle without a glove, sometimes I need to put a glove on. Have yet to burn myself yet.... knock on wood

main reason I traded my 26'r. I always instinctively grabbed it w/o gloved hands and always recoiled
Speedster...
The heat transfer issue is likely the reason they stopped making them that way and switched to wood.
To answer your question of how much heat...enough to burn your hand if that thing is cranking full of coals with all vents wide open.
Take the wooden handle of your kettle and try cooking on it. You'll see what I mean.

Metal lid handles get friggin hot. Really friggin hot. Wood is nice, better than plastic.
I believe it was concern over the hot metal lid handle that inspired George Stephen to invent the glove.
