My schedule looks like this:

Hold 1050 for 14 hours
Ramp to 1200 at full speed, hold 20 minutes
Ramp to 960 at 60 deg/hour
Ramp to 150 at 200 deg/hour

May be a little conservative, but I never lose a piece to cracking.

I don't think a ChiliPepper can get hot enough for boro.

You can do small pieces. Max temp for a ChiliPepper is 1100 and I hold and anneal at just over 1000. The pieces of boro that I do are small, but I've never had one crack.
