Yeah I'm going to insulate it with 50mm celotex.
Where is the ideal place to mount the element? On the bottom or one of the sides?
Im thinking of getting a round element and having a fan in the middle of it (how most domestic ovens are)

and earth it!
Insulate the inside with celotex or similar, use a 2kW oven heater element and a fan with temperature process controller and you'll be well away

I hope you are going to insulate it? If so 2Kw will be ample.
Brian.

Started an oven build today so thought i would make a thread to post my progress.
This is all new to me so I'm sure il have some questions on the way, and you can all correct me if i do something wrong
Made the frame out of 15mm steel box tube
Then a 1mm steel outer skin
What size element would be good for this size oven?
Its 1 meter x 600mm x 600mm
