We're ready to build a bigger oven, I'm thinking 4x4x6. It's be great if we would be able to roll a rack straight into it. I looked around on here and didn't see anything like that, but I'm pretty sure some people have one. With my current knowledge, here are my concerns:
1) The bottom would probably be a single-wall piece of sheet metal. The repeated heat/cool cycles would be bad for the concrete floor, no?
2) How would the bottom door seal work?
3) I'd like the oven to be natural gas, so I couldn't mount the burner plate under the floor, so I'd have to have some kind of heat exchanger mounted to the rear, which would increase the oven's footprint, slow heating, and probably reduce the size burner I could use.
Is this just more trouble than it's worth? How do you guys load racks into your big ovens that sit off the floor? Maybe a clever racking system would be a better solution. ...Or perhaps a ramp is all we'd need.
