Yes, it seems long, but the long wait is caused by a 3/8 inch thick pot!
It takes forever to heat up!
Also this stove is very safe because you can knock it over without spilling burning alcohol everywhere, as all the alcohol is in the perlite *note: do not go and knock over your stove though, its still kind of dangerous!*
