Wow. For that kind of time and money, seems like it would make more sense
to build a custom oven. Rob the elements and thermostat out of a discarded
electric kitchen oven, build a frame of EMT (bolted would be fine), add some
suitable insulation (remember this only has to hold temp for an hour or two)
and go to it.
I wonder how hot you could get the face of a R19 fiberglass batt before the
Kraft paper caught fire ? 400F should be no problem, since paper doesn't
burn until 451F.
