Question Re: Metal Grids Over Elements

Hey Baz,
When I mounted my elements, I mounted them right on the inside walls. When I get the oven going and I have a part that hangs down into the element area, I'm thinking that the heat from the elements is more severe. So I'm wondering and sort of planning on placing a shield/cover over the elements just to eliminate the possibility of over curring that end of the item (say a bike frame).

I do have a circulation fan that draws from the top and blows down a chute that is about 8 inches from the floor. So is my thinking right or is it off base? It would seem that it would do as I'm thinking and also would eliminate any cooling down of the elements.

What do you think?
JT
