    Though I agree that one shouldn't torch fire anything with a
    combustible core, I've torch fired several pieces with stones set in
    place with no trouble. Absolutely do not quench the item afterwards,
    however, as it will likely cause the stone to break (just as with
    kiln firing stones in place). 

    FYI, I only torch fire with my cheap propane torch. My oxy/acetylene
    torch has proven to melt items rather easily.
