I am about to build an mdf oven, the size will be  L1220mm, W610mm, H635mm. 
I was going to use a 2KW fan heater as i'm aiming for Max Dwell temps of 80 to 85c, but after reading one of Morepower's posts ( Hi Morepower hope you dont mind) and seeing his AMAZING work i understand that a 3KW needs to be on full most of the time to make 85C (not shore how big his oven is) so it looks like my 2kw's out of the window. Can anyone give me advise on will this do or is it OVERKILL for a mdf oven of my size??

5kw single phase

External size H300 W520 D200

Sorry... Been busy guys.. I am going to be building a new oven which will be more permanent and now I know my little (OK not so little) MDF oven was a proof of concept and I now need to look at going to higher temperatures I will post up a thread of the oven build and where I get my stuff from too..
