I have been doing sudokus on here for over a year but finally registered just to leave this comment. This was a 2-star when I saw it but I definitely struggled so I left a 3-star. I'm proud of myself for finishing though :) I finished in 104 minutes.

Cool break in!

Took me about 90 seconds of staring at the grid to see the break-in point and once it was broken, it solved very quickly after. Brilliant setting. Very satisfying break-in. One of the better ones I've seen in a while at the 2* level. Bravo.

Really enjoyed the break in with the constraints of thermos. Very cool puzzle, thanks :)

Nice thermo setup. I don't think I used the thermo in R4C12. Thanks :)

Lovely thermo puzzle, the word engaging kept coming to mind throughout the solve. Well done!

I think I may have spotted the break-in faster than expected for the difficulty level because I'm not generally quick at these and usually can't do a 3 star almost at all, but I solved this in only 13:41. I liked the break-in and I can see how it may have been difficult to spot if it didn't happen to be the 2nd thing I looked at. Once I broke in, it solved very quickly and smoothly without really many additional tricky situations.
