One hot mother!!! Be careful in your garage!!!!!!!!!!!

It fixes an issue for sure. I don't know that it explains why it got so hot in the first place.
If you have one of those inexpensive laser temp guns you can shoot the vent at different heights to ease your worries??? The laser temp gun can also be used for many other things relative to heating and cooling. I use mine to check wall, ceiling and door temps and even engine/radiator/exhaust manifold temps
