Well the illness didn't hit I'm at work and the Leader Half Pint is still in boxes...BUT...I don't work Friday or Saturday night so first thing when I get home in the am she's going together and the firebrick is going in!

So if this is my first and last boil on my new half pint what should I do near the end of the boil? Do I let the fire die down to nothing and when its cool enough take what's left and boil it inside and then how do I clean the pan for storage?
