Yes but what about Bills original question.  ;D

450 degrees....for 8-10 hours....let cool down slowly.....oh....and make sure that you don't try to cook the whole thing in one Piece....may just explode and take out the Wife's Oven ......good enough Mr. Snyder...... >:D.... ;)

Follow up.  I cooked it at 450 and let it cool down.  I then proceeded to turn it into fish tank gravel.  I have broken every point I started in the last two days.  The rock is great, the knapper is going to a 3-D shoot and calm down.  Bill

 Hey Justin, Look at all the FREE extra knowledge he gained. Just like that long journey down the road of life; you might get sidetracked from time to time. ;D ;) :P

I use a cut in half water heater filled with sand(Claude,lol)  I bury my coral an inch to 2 inches , I control my temps with depth, you never said what color your coral is. Clear/bleish will fire china white, it can take up to 600 the "gem" qulity coral will take less as its more sensitive to the heat.I put 1 bag of charcoal on the top evenly and light it, its a 3 day from start to heat to cool down.
