Default Re: Starting an oven and have some Q's

If the oven is temp controlled does it matter rather some or all the elments are on? Provided you have the power to run them all at once.

I mean 500F is 500F right, rather fast with 4 elements or twice as long with only 2 elements, it's still the same power used to heat and hold the oven at 500F.
Or am I missing something?

New to this and going to try building my own oven soon. My plans are to use parts from junk house stoves, Electric ranges are trashed all the time while still working, I can get them at scrap yards for $10 or less. I would think all theparts are there, I just have to install them into a new cabnit and wire them up.
