Burlington Cook-along

BrewerMo:
So... I have heat treated Burlington chert a few times successfully and a few times unsuccessfully in my Firecheif woodstove. Normally I burry my rock under 3 to 5" of ash and building a fire on top. This time I'm doing it a little different. I shoveled out a trench in the ash and lined it with foil. Then I set in all my rock and covered it with sand. Then I covered that with foil, then ash and built a fire on top. I'm a little worried that some of my rock near the top didn't get covered by much, but we will see...😁.  with the blower on front of the woodstove it's easy to over cook the rock if it's not deep enough. This batch is mostly flakes and chunks that didn't respond much to my turkey roaster.  I did put a few nice raw pieces in there tho. I will post the results here.🤞

Parnell:
That's interesting...don't think I've seen anybody use a woodstove to cook rock, yet.

BrewerMo:
It's been a small steady fire since last night.. I might open the blower a little more and raise  the temperature tonight.

Chippintuff:
This is interesting. I want to see how this turns out.

Have any others of you tried cooking rock in a wood burning stove?
