Title: How about a Texas Point
Post by: Outbackbob48 on July 11, 2009, 05:59:29 pm

It  started raining in Penna. again, so I broke into my supply of Texas rock that I got from Eric. Seemed to work just fine. Later Bob

Everyones kilns are different, but mine runs it best @ 350 to 375 degrees with no hold time. Be sure and keep an eye on it for if you go over 400 you have ruined you Texas rock.
