Only in the way I “experienced” 300+C by jumping through a bonfire. You never reach a true equilibrium in a Sauna that hot, but you can reach an equilibrium in 50C when the humidity is low enough.

Good point, 5 minutes at 100C is nothing like spending all day at 50C.

We used to get stuff out an oven which cars were baked in after being painted. Lots of close on an run. In hindsight, very stupid.

Reminds me of a great little story I just read about working in a brick yard in the 50s.

Yeah, I found some cool bricks and wondered if brick collecting was a thing.

It is - a demolition yard near me had a particular pole that weren’t for sale. The yard owner kept the best for himself.

Ones made by prisoners. One with a nice glaze etc.
