I need cooking advice!
Hawkdancer:
How large a piece is about right? Got some Ft Payne and some dactite? Also somewhat concerned with messing up the oven with shrapnel - little woman would somewhat upset :) :-K. I do have an old grill to serve as an outdoor oven with the sand and charcoal plan. There are some stalls and flakes as well as chunks. Does obsidian need heat treating? I am thinking no, because it is a volcanic glass. Thanks, Hawkdancer
Outbackbob48:
Hawk, obsidian or dacite does not need heat ;D already cooked. Paul C, just my .02 worth but I would save your Flintridge until you have more experience, everything else hit it :o hard. Bob

Some of the internet sales, like Craigslist or Letgo will have turkey cookers for cheap. I plan to get one for cooking rock but all I have now is rhyolite and it wont help it... :o

James Parker gave me a tip about your Cryolot. He told me some of that real tough stuff works a lot better if you heat treat it real hot. ;)

Do an abo heat treat for Flint ridge you can get 600-800 degrees easily. I recommend that you get a turkey roaster if you want to collect your own stone.
