I scrubbed out my friggin' 'uge 15-gallon kettle last night, filled it about 2/3 full with water, and cranked up the outdoor burner. It took about an hour to reach boiling. The strange thing is, I went to check it after about 45 minutes, and it wasn't boiling as much, even though the flames were still going! Even stranger, I came back a few minutes later, and it wasn't boiling at all! Flame still on and all! I took the temp, and it was between 208 and 210. So, even though it wasn't fully boiling for a full hour, do you think I got enough passive oxide built up on the pot? Here's a pic:
It's definitely darker in the area that contained water, but it's not black... does it need to be?
