Default Re: What do you think???

Also keep in mind that the BTU calculators arrive at a BTU and/or watts based on per hour. If you want your oven to heat faster than that then adjust your heat (watts) accordingly. I found this in my oven notes to convert BTU/watts.

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics lists conversion factors; many
calculators also have the ability to convert watts to BTUs. One watt of
energy equals 3.412 BTUs per hour. So if you equipment is generating 1000
watts of heat, it is putting off 3412 BTUs of heat per hour.
