Feels Hot Or Cold But The Same Temperature

When I give this wood and metal tube to students and I show that it is the same temperature using an Infrared thermometer and then they hold the tubes they swear that the wood is much warmer than the metal. I tell them that they can trust the thermometer but not their hands. When we wrap the tube with a piece of paper and then heat it in a burner the paper on the wooden side becomes charred but the paper on the metal side does not. Why is this. Watch the video to find out the explanation.
