Default Re: 4 x 4 x 6 Oven Pics

OK after many calculations and much thought, until the Realtor finds me a location for my business, I'm going to have to limit this oven to 4x4x4. I only have 240v/100a single phase service at the house, and by my calculations with 4 3100w elements, plus lights, fan, and controller, I would need around a 60 - 80 amp breaker, and my last open slot, and really be pushing the limits of my home's electrical threshold. I'm still going to build the bigger oven. It just won't be in operation until I find my shop. I'm still going to post the pics and progress tho, so stay tuned....

Oh yeah I don't know about your area, but one of my metal distributors quoted me:
18g galvanized 4x8 $56.10 per sheet
20g galvanized 4x8 $43.10 per sheet
Not too bad, but still puts a dent in the pocket book. Laters
