Propane Oven - I know it's been asked
I am the General Manager for Yesteryear Auto and RV Center and we are expanding our line of products to encompass off road vehichles and are going to produce our own line of dune buggies. I have seen booths that will just barely fit our frames in them that are 12K+. In doing research I stumbled onto this jewel of a site and I am hoping that I can get some questions answered.
The oven I intend to build is approximately 7'H x 12'L x 12'W. According to the calculators on this site I will need approximately 108,000 BTU to heat this space to 450 degrees (with a tight seal). I saw on the same website as the calculator propane infrared/radiant heaters that put out 42,000 BTU. Would I be safe to assume that If I were to put 3 (126,000 BTU total) of these units inside a self built booth that I could would be able to attain appropriate temperatures to bake an entire dune buggy frame inside? Or am I oversimplifying the whole oven Idea.
This is the heater element I am talking about.

Treat me like a newbie to this (as I am a newbie) and help me understand this.
