Aim to break the limestone into pieces not larger than 2 inches (5.1 cm) across. 3. Cook the limestone in a kiln or outdoor oven. In order to ready the limestone for use in cement, place it in a kiln or outdoor wood oven. [4] Turn the kiln up to 900 °C (1,650 °F), and leave the limestone to "bake" for 4 or 5 hours.
