As far as heating of the scoop goes, does anyone know if there are heaters in the scoop joints or rasp mechanism? If so, could significant heat conduct through the scoop walls to the back of the scoop where the rasp shavings go? I don't suppose there's too much they could do about that, if the heating is required...
