I've read that a good way to slowly cool the metal down is to bury it in the sand over night. But I've not seen anyone mention how MUCH sand is enough. Does it only need a few inches of sand surrounding it on all sides? or does it need a lot more?
Since I live next to the beach, I figured I'd just do it out there.
Just kidding. But at least I know where I can source my sand from.

For a part that's about the size of a large candy bar, would a 5 gallon bucket of sand be enough insulation? Throw it in the middle of there 1/2 full, then fill up the rest?
