The issue (at least not for this reflector) is not how hot the model 
is, but if the method of installing the ground rod will work, and how 
effectively the ground rod will provide a GOOD ground when "drilled" 
into the ground.

They talk about using a 1/2 inch ground rod.  I have read here on TT 
that 5/8 ground rod was the size of choice.

And, they state that the drill tip that is used is slightly larger than 
the ground rod itself, which will make a hole in the soil that is 
larger than the rod, thus reducing effective ground contact.
