Powder coat oven
unfy:
Grabbed some mineral wool from Menards - $20 for 15"x47"x3.5"x5. Also picked up one of their fifth burner / stand alone electric hot plate thing. It looks to be all metal which is interesting.
Been thinking about a shell and haven't really come up with much.
Metal siding at $15 for 8 feet by 30 some inches aint too bad. Sadly, it aint a flat sheet.
I imagine an old washer or dryer would be an acceptable shell. Of course, this doesn't address the inside walls.
Of course, being what it is - Take an kind of outside shell (washing machine or the metal siding) ... and for an inside shell - just use chicken wire and perhaps metal window screen. It's not like the inside wall has to be astounding - all it's doing is holding back the insulation.
Hmmmm. Seems like a cheap possibility. Although I need to finalize my dimensions again.

You might try to locate an oven from an RV.

An RV oven aint a bad idea.
There's a junk yard kinda near me I'll have to pay it a visit eventually.
Went to a thrift store today to just take a stab at finding some pewter, think I found some. Will find out more later (this doesn't react to a magnet at least). Also grabbed another toaster oven to either play with or to use as is or to destroy heh.

How hot do you need this oven to get? 250*? 400*? 600*?
How many cubic foot capacity are you looking for?
I have an idea bouncing around in my head... :laugh:

How hot ? 400f.
Size ? It's a matter of being able to relatively easily move it around (on wheels or not). But big enough to be 'useful'. My current plan was something like 30x24x30. I can go bigger or smaller or whatever, it all depends on cost of shell or inner walls etc.
Inner walls - i like the chicken wire & metal window screen idea.
I'll be chopping up the $5 toaster oven i picked up today. It'll become parts for aluminum melting stuff. It has some high temp hook up wire in it, and the elements .... well... I dunno if I'll try to make something or not.
