Jon's mug, about a litre, we boiled 4 times in 9 minutes.. maybe I should've been more detailed.
one liter (~ a quart) of cold water bringing to a rolling boil on an alc. stove in 9 minutes indeed is very fast - usually it takes that time for about half a liter (~ a pint).
The question is on what temperature the tests were done, indoors/outdoors, sunshine/rain/hail/snow, wind speed, type of windshield, fuel consumption and most impotant what temperature did the "cold" water had when the boiling started
