I blue ramrod parts for Dixie Gun Works in my wife's kitchen oven. (Auntie
Fern is very understanding!)  I set the temperature for 550 degrees and
leave them in until they blue.  Temp really should be above 550, but that is
the limit that our new oven can reach.  Old oven worked better as it would
get hotter, but I had to constantly watch to be sure the parts did not "pass
blue" and turn silvery gray.
