2hrs at 850° C when everything is glowing red hot, then venting the kiln to rapidly cool it down to 480° C. Then 40 more hours of cooling.

Inside of the kiln: forms at the bottom, buttressed with bricks and flower pots as crucibles with the black glass billets inside.
Not a DIY distillery, but my setup for steaming wax out of my molds.
