Finally a 3 ramp down to room temp at 90f and off.

I know it's pretty conservative but I have a couple of fist-fulls of unknown glass that I picked up when I just started out as well a some Devardi that can be persnickety and I usually have to stop torching because I need to sleep so I push the program to stop the "garage temp" and go on with the rest of the schedule and then go to bed so the extra time isn't an issue for me.

Phill, I think I may modify my schedule to resemble yours and see if I can get some more color out of some of the more persnickety DH rods.
