	Lodgepole cones have evolved to open when fire sweeps through an area,
so you may need a high setting to accomplish this at home, but start
low, as Bear-sama suggests, and increase it if you don't get results.
I'd also be concerned about the sap from the cone contaminating the
cones, so you might try 'roasting' the cones vertically instead of
horizontally.
