    Red hot can be an expression or it can be an actual event. Is the exhaust pipe turning orange in color? Hw far up the pipe is the color? What color smoke is coming from the pipe?

    What type of unit is this?

    You might want to call the manufacturer but from what Im reading this may be a normal condition. Exhaust systems tend to get hot and its not unusual if the metal is thing for it to glow. I would double check with them and see. I found a possible manual for it and that is what Im going by.
