That is the question, yes. You may draw as many circles as needed, and as large as needed.

EDIT: Actually, the question may have been "where does the heat start?" and "where does the heat stop?", in case it was ambiguous.

Objectively, there is no such thing as "heat." For a rigorous answer you'll need to formulate the question in terms of absolute temperature, i.e. "where does the temperature rise above X degrees centigrade?"
 
Assuming that flame is somehow electric because it has a power cord...

The sun is always the source of the heat. It stops after the house fire has been put out by the fire department. 😛
 
I have a set of lab apparatus and a bunsen burner and use to experiment with stuff like cocaine. No, HAHAH just messing around with stuff from an old science book like making hydrogen. All my equipment is in a box in the crawl space now except a giant flask which holds my lose change on the book shelf. Well, I was experimenting and thought to my self what if I get a hamster and connect his exercise wheel to a static generator and use the static to heat a room? LOL Now I think it would take many hamsters. The idea of the static generator came about by seeing one in old pictures and I have a lightning ball illuma storm. Looks like this:

Messes up the HF bands I'll tell you.

So where does the heat come from? The hamster or the electric field? 😛

You can buy some neat shit on ebay, but I bought all my stuff out of catalogs back in grade school. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...A0.H0.Xbunsen+bur&_nkw=bunsen+burner&_sacat=0

I have one of these too. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Bun...771?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d51f8fd33
