The tricky part. I would want to err on the slower side. You wouldn't know
if it's too fast by reading the gauge. You would need to read the metal
temp, and who know what and where that should be. This is my only area of
potential disagreement.

Couldn't agree more. Apparently what I wrote, and not nearly as lucidly and
without benefit of formal education, was justifiably misinterpreted as
saying that slower water flow is better. Basically, slower than too fast
is correct. Duh. ;-)
Well done, Mike.
