I have a wall oven that came free, needing only a little repair to the
clock and timing unit. I can set the timer once preheated and the thing
will shut off when done. No supervision, practically.
A bigger oven would require more space, of course, but I may step up a
bit. We have a cottage that has this big old stove that I have my eye
on. I'm sure my wife will be looking for an upgrade there before too
long, and I can get the leftover.
Used ovens are easy to come by still, I think. The wall oven I'm using
came for free, as I said, and it was sort of a unique deal that I won't
bore you with details about, but I often see discarded stoves on trash
day, and oven elements rarely fail. It's usually burners and cosmetics
that cause their demise, those things that suffer from normal wear and tear.
I considered the IR system but read the file print about how much and
how long it was needed to cure a part. I calculated that the process
would be hours long. For that, I'd paint first. Or go to the pro for
the big parts.
