Hello everyone, This might be a stupid question, and it's slightly tangential to actual glass blowing, but I'm wondering if i take broken glass (of all the same source), put it in an old bread tin, and stuck it in a campfire, would it melt into a brick of glass? Are there any dangers in attempting this? Any way to prevent/mitigate those dangers? What PPE would you recommend?

I know glass has to be cooled slowly, would letting the fire burn lower/down/out over a period of several hours suffice?

Thanks for any answers, input, and tips!
