Default Re: Wood Charcoal oven?

Chromo, that was me, with the $1.08/hr cost fro my 200+ cubic foot oven. ANd in reality, BAZ is right, With an oven load. the electricity cost is very minimal. especially when there is $100-200 worth of product in the oven at one time. Yesterday, I baked over 200 pcs, 3 bakings. I charged the customer $1/ piece and $15 per baking an oven full.

Wood/charcoal will cost alot more in time, mess etc, I would think. I live in an area that predominanely heats houses with Wood heat. I know how much work is involved with wood.
