none I have ever seen or heard of....
I use and sell TARR smokers. (Have 8 tanks with them and have had them in probably 10 others) You can get proportional ones and when you use them with megasteam look and run great. You have your choice plastic or thick aluminum box which is what I use. they get warm but you can still hold them in your hand no problem. The resistor would never get hot enough for open flame, only pumping 5V and low amps through it...
