Okay I managed to get a crusader mug of water to a rolling boil in 20 minutes, not that good you may think? But consider it was tipping it down, the wood was Elder and therefore a bit poop it was also wet having sat in a container with half an inch of water at the bottom.
All in all it performed well despite the taxing conditions, it now no longer looks anywhere near as shiny or clean as it once did though, a real baptism of fire!
