[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3960837, member: 3099"] It's totally doable on a camp stove in the backyard, but I'd wait on a nice and calm day. You can get the chemicals from various places in kit form. Use the correct containers, measure chemicals accurately, use DI or distilled water, get a good thermometer, practice regulating the heat beforehand so you know what's going to happen when you dunk it (it'll drop temp), and most of all, prep is the main thing. Totally clean and grease/oil free including oils from your hands. I did a raggedy looking High Power for a friend in his backyard on a propane grill. It turned out great. It's not hard, but all the little details make or break the quality of the finish. You could do hot blue too, but park is a bit easier than blue. [/QUOTE]
