Part 2/7:
The kiln in question was set to reach a high temperature of 12,200°F, but the actual temperature had only reached 1,052°F during their observations. Ryan expressed doubt about whether the kiln would achieve its target temperature, given the prolonged time spent at the lower reading. A crucial component of the experiment was a piece of alumina, a casting material shaped like a crucible, which they had used to create other structures, notably dog bones.
