New oven build, does it sound like I have a clue?

Posted by admin on December 7th, 2009 at 04:11pm

Alright I plan on using what I’ve learned from Bigtoy’s build to build my own oven. I only have 110v power in my leased building so I will be using a forced air heater to fire my oven. I plan on using a kerosene / diesel heater for my build.

1 reason is by my estimates it will cost less to heat with this fuel and I will also not have to install a solenoid. It will simply either have power going to it or not (when the power is turned off so is the flow of fuel).

My box will be very similar in size and construction to bigtoys.

As far as wiring this is what I *THINK* I need.
1. power cord to run from wall to PID mounted on outside of box.
2. thermocouple wired to pid (Open for suggestions on thermocouple)
3. power cord running from pid to heater

Like I said I think I know what I’m doing here but It honestly seems almost too simple. Am I leaving anything out here?
