it takes time for it to come up to melt temp and most of the time I had it almost at the top of the exhaust port where its pretty cool compared to right under the lid. what happened was that I didn't warm the skimmer up and when I stuck it in the melt the liquid metal froze to it the temp drop is so drastic that the metal that was liquid when it hits the skimmer turns almost black because of the temp drop in it.
