When I was doing a bit of research, I was coming up with 2050C or so for hydrogen open flame (in air; with pure oxygen it was 2600C), and about 1950C for methane in air. Natural gas is mostly methane and has a pretty similar flame temperature, but it does not melt our pots and pans. Why would hydrogen? It is hotter, sure, but not dramatically so.
