Baz,
You have points, but then again $20 you save is another $20 you would have.
With such an oven also if the power goes down for a weekend your still up and running, povided you have backup power for your compressor and sprayer etc..
Without such an oven you might be out the entire $800 when you sitting wonder when the power will come back on to run the oven.
Well guys, I know it's not an idea for everyone, just an idea I though I'd share. For me and the crappy power grid we have here and the fact I am trying to get off grid it's an idea that might work very well and certainly for me worth trying.
Last thing I need to add is a giant power hog oven here when I am adding solar and wind generators so I can shut off the grid someday hopefully soon.
I could power everything else fine without the grid, not an electric oven as big as I would want though.

like you say it is not an idea for everyone , i don t even heat my home with wood because it takes too much of my time for me it costs less to fill the furnace with oil turn on the heater and spend more time in the shop working
but this is why we have these forums . to hear different point of vues on a given subject .
let us know how it works out and pics too
