I add mine in the last 5-10min of the boil. I would knock the flame out and stir to make sure it is all dissolved and then crank it back on. You dont want it to burn on the bottom...

put it in.

Why not put it, and the chiller, in at flame out. The temperature will still be hot enough to dissolve the sugar and sanitize the chiller (10 seconds at 160 F is all you need). This way you eliminate the risk of burning the sugar and don't have to interrupt the boil while re-heating to offset the temperature of the chiller you put in.

I've been putting my chiller in at flame out with no issues.

I will try this next time , today I just spinkled the sugar a little bit at a time
and stirred while it was still boiling,i think it went ok (nothing burnt on the BK
bottom)
