I promised a video on this a while back and finally got around to making it. The forced air charcoal furnace took a few attempts to get right, but this one worked like a charm. It was able to get a fairly large package of parts up to around 1500º and keep them there for an hour. The only problem I had was the cheap craft SS foil burned through. That allowed some oxidation of the parts, but they still hardened up just fine.
