Cooking flint ridge material???
« on: January 01, 2019, 01:29:09 pm »
Who has done it successfully? And how did you do it. Had 2 pieces in turkey roaster all night and not sure it changed the knappability much...roaster goes to about 450. I won’t come close to a preform from either piece.

Any advice would be super!

Thanks, Paul

You'll need at least 550, and to get that with a roaster you'll have fill it with sand and insulate the lid to hold the heat.

If it has a removable pan pull it out.  You should get about 525*  at least that’s what mine will get up too

Do you keep it above 500 over night? Or just a couple hrs?

I useally hold mine a few hours, I have mine rigged with thermometers one on the side and one in the middle. and when the side reaches 500 the middle will be at least 175 degrease cooler. so its good to hold for a while.

Google Mike Cook. He has cooked about every knapping rock there is. He can answer your question.
