Interesting! I bet you need a second point for calibration though. It would be funny if it was boiling water, i.e. 100°C.

You'd half to take elevation into account. It's 100°C at sea level. For every ~150m (500ft) you go up in elevation, you should expect the boiling temperature to be about 0.5°C less.
