Notes
For this puzzle I took inspiration from Gliperal's Rosette, which I found extremely beautiful and elegant.
The puzzle
The rules
Normal sudoku rules apply: Place the digits 1 to 9 once each in every row, column, and box. Digits in cages do not repeat, and they sum to the total indicated in the top left corner.
The fiery red loop consists of five thermometers, directed clockwise from bulb to end. In other words, digits must increase going clockwise around the loop with at most five exceptions.
