Hey that's great. Nothing wrong with that boil time. You'll soon appreciate the splendor of sitting around a nice warm fire watching and waiting for water to boil. But most of all, watching snow melt is very interesting. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Some of those sticks under whatever legs you decide on will stop the stove from sinking into snowpack. Build a platform in log fashion style for support. If the snow starts to melt after a period of time put another stick under it as a shim, so to speak. If you don't understand this concept, let me know, and I'll see if I have a picture.
