Clay Brick Oven and Charcoal Electric Starter ??

Posted by admin on January 24th, 2010 at 01:24pm

Hi, total newb to powder coat but I’m going to dive head first into the chilly water and see how I do. I painted two cars several years ago so hopefully some of the ‘prep’ work/patience will carry over. I have a nice Dewalt compressor with driers – I get good clean dry air.

My problem is I have only 120v or gas available – 220v is out of the question.

So I am seriously thinking of making an oven with 24×24x24 dimensions and using a steel plate as a door.

I’m making the thing from :shock: – clay brick- and 2 simple heating elements I found that kick out 500 watts each.

Going to use these :shock: http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_1…0070921×00003a

Using the BTU calculator, I need about 980 watts to heat the oven 300 degrees above ambient.

I can get this oven built for about $50 and may be able to crank out quite a few wheels per day – to start.

My questions are

Am I crazy?

Should I also put in some kind of fan?

If so, what type of fan and where would I get it?

Thanks in advance for your response.
