Once outside the oven I would use a 12 ga stranded wire. You previously referenced different sized elements. To be certain you need to list their actual size.
Were is the best place to put my vent?(1" with elbow)I'm not sure it's the 'best' place, but I placed mine about 4" from the top of the oven in the side wall.
My elements are, against the wall facing up. I have one on the back wall and 1 on each side. Were is the best place to put a fan? Im getting this one for now. Motors > HVAC Motors > 3.3 Inch Diameter Motors > Motor,1/100 HP,3.3 In : Grainger Industrial Supply
