Why is our Heat Treated Texas Flint so good?

Why is our Heat Treated Texas Flint so good?


It's our kilns!  Our kilns are set up to take the temperature in three different locations.  The first is the air temperature inside the kiln.  The next area is the out side surface area of the rock.  The last one is the very core of the material being heat treated.  Because we do this, we always get a slow steady even cook.  It's never to hot or never to cold any where in the kiln.  We give our material a longer dry time than most folks and this eliminates most interior flint checking.  We then hold if for longer at the target temperature so that is cooks even all the way through.  It takes us a week to heat treat a batch.

    Thank you so much Richard and Betty, for donating some of your Texas Flint to a few of us U.S. Troops here in Jalalabad, Afghanistan. This flint is amazing! Every piece has so much potential, and some of them are quite large, and it is really nice to work with. Your support and generocity has gone a long way for us, and is helping me and some of my soldiers refine our skills on our down time. I cannot wait to purchase my next order of this stuff!
    Thanks again, and God Bless.
    Sincerely,
    Justin Scott

    Justin,
    We are so proud to be able to help our troops serving over seas to get a little relaxation. And for a knapper like your self a box full of flint should help. Know that you boys are in our prayers daily.
