i was planning on purchasing two of these elements http://www.buy.com/prod/CH2858_45492.../90142909.html

anyone have any feedback on my choice?

next we have to figure out powering them and also temp controls, can someone point me in the right direction? i havnt looked into it much but im start now that the frame of the oven is pretty much settled

thank you

Im finishing up my 4'x4'x6' oven . I bought 3 of those same elements for mine.

And this off ebay.
