Crockpot only goes to like 209 degrees. I thought about that.  Fire seems like the most likely way. That's how they used to do it. Cheers- Brendan

Watch Ryan Gills video on youtube about ABO heat treating.

close to the side and in the corners of a turkey roaster gets mighty hot. Hotter than my thermometer will read and it reads to 500 I think. The reading was climbing so fast when it maxed out it had to be quit a bit hotter than the 500.
I've placed really grainy gravel in the corners and severly overcooked it with dial set on 400.

My turkey roaster gets to the dial setting in the middle and on the dial side, but it gets 75 degrees hotter on the other 3 sides. I have put fiberglass insulation in the lid, and I fill it with sand to fill all voids between rocks. In the past I have noticed that it gets hotter and faster if the roaster is not full.

I'm not the greatest chief on here for sure so can't give exact recipe. I've cooked some Butterscotch Flint river in turkey roaster that came out great. I've also ruined some Texas Flint I overcooked. From what I've heard about Flint ridge it needs higher heat. I think I'd try Eddie's charcoal cooking recipe. I know it's tempting to put everything in pit or roaster at once but until you figure out the right temperature and soak time you might just want to try smaller amounts. I felt terrible when I turned my Texas Flint into gravel without even getting to hit it.lol  I'm thinking you could cook your Texas chert in turkey roaster.
