Thanks Chr0nic (fellow twin peaks enthusiast) I saw that post and some others like it good and bad.

Some pretty wild numbers there.

to summarize:

     The clean crystals will melt to thick liquid at ~120f (a hot cup of tea water is the right temp for the heat source for a spoonful of naptha and ~1g Chrystal ) and IF at sea level pressures will evaporate from the surface of that liquid at ~160f.  These liquid and gas molecules hold heat well and oxidize which is why (imo) they are difficult to handle and heat evenly and at the right speed.

Material that hydrogenates in the extraction (5-MEO-___) moves the freezing point a little lower and the boiling point a little higher.

My experiment confirms this:

### Boiling points and melting points are uncorrected. Melting points were recorded on a Buchi-510_C instrument.

### Infrared spectra were recorded on a Perkin-Elmer Infrared-683 spectrophotometer with KBr optics. Spectra calibrated against the standard polystyrene absorption at ~1600.05 cm-1.

So no more blah blah blah from me. I am going to go do the experiment of making one batch with boiled root bark, one batch with freeze dried bark and one with the 1st(boiling) stage kept under 210f and contained.
