First, I have been unable to locate a borad. Second, the re-radiation
will be less efficient (if that is the proper term) because the
temperature will be lower. Third, assuming perfect reflection (but
reflectors in practice are not perfect), there would have to come a point
of exact equilibrium between the ends. This last is easiest to see if we
think of just two hot irons (points), but will eventuate in more complex
interactions of irons, boards, clothes, etc.
