What size wire do I need coming from my elements? If you are referring to hi-temp wire like the 842 degree MG wire McMaster Carr sells then the 20 ga would be sufficient. Once outside the oven I would use a 12 ga stranded wire. I have 842 degree 12 ga MG electrical power wire that I thought I could use from the elements and 12 ga TGGT electrical power wire, 482 degree outside the oven. You previously referenced different sized elements. To be certain you need to list their actual size. I have a 3400, 3700, and 2 - 2000 watt elements
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 Sorry for the confusion. Sometimes I'm not very clear. When I take a project like this I've never done before, confirmation helps me feel better about my decisions. I have a lot of time and money in this. I want to do it right. Man thanks a lot for helping me and others with this.
