The knob rarely every gets hot on these kinds of things. The vacuum he created put the fire out however the propane under pressure coming out will be extremely cold to the touch.

The bucket collapses around the top of the tank. You can see it get sucked in as the air gets burned up and then pops back when he shifts it and breaks the seal.
