But the tempering process . . . is there a method less smoky and noxious?
For the faint of heart who live in an area where the neighbors are less

Dear Flash,

I'm sure there is. I've seen small gas-fired tempering furnaces in
several shops I've visited. A copy of Brownell's catalog (...do they
have a web site? ) should give you sources.
