| Firing Schedule | 1400°F (760°C) for 1 hour in a stainless steel firing pan, embedded in coconut shell–based activated carbon (make sure you have about 1/2" of carbon surrounding each piece; avoid using too much carbon, as this will reduce the temperature inside the container). For one or two small pieces, it is possible to fire at the same temperature and reduce the firing time to 30 minutes. For larger pieces and full loads, fire at the same temperature for 2 hours. |
