I'm not seeing this recommended but not seeing it contraindicated. They say 350-370F. Chloroform, they say, is originally achieved by heating a mixture of chlorine and methane, is configured differently when manufactured in winter than summer because they target 20% deterioration/year. It turns to gas eventually.

I opened a gallon of chloroform to smell it and

You can setup an automated method to mix ammonia and bleach. Just don't activate it in when you're in the room.

Bleach and acetone or IPA are much more efficient to make chloroform.

And store it in the oven, sure. Great way to make some ethylene tetachloride and hydrochloric acid. Fun times.

Of course you can...but remember the words of the immortal Moody Blues..

Breathe deep the gathering gloom.
Watch lights fade from every room...
