Critics often claim that the stainless steel boilers sold by Fugawee “aren’t historically accurate” or “look too shiny.” It’s true—they gleam when new. Though stainless steel contains some carbon and may develop light surface rust, use them for cooking, and their appearance transforms. Take Art’s boiler, for example: after use, this stainless steel boiler blends in with any other, yet it outshines 20-year-old counterparts in condition. Stored all winter with your gear, it waits patiently for the next season, emerging unscathed by rust—unlike typical casualties of time.
