OK got mine in the mail yesterday. I had a tank that was almost empty, so I thought I would fire it up. I let it run FULL blast with about 6-7 gallons of water and I got to about 135 before I gave up after 50 min.
The heat coming off that thing felt pretty hot. It was a little windy so that might have been slowing things down. How long from your guys experience is it gonna take to get a boil from this burner. Is it gonna go faster from 135 to a boil?
Also how important is it to get a oxidation layer on the pot? I have heard that you need to boil water for 30 min or put it in the oven at 350 for 30 min before using an aluminum pot (it wont fit in the oven).
