Thanks for the response,
12 K is a little more than I have. I have 40 amps in the garage but still need to leave a little for the lights, misc controls. and blower motor.
I think what Im going to do a have my heater run on both propane and electric. I will used the propane to heat the oven and preheat the larger parts. Then switch over to electric once I have the parts inside, and hope that I have enough electric to maintain the temp.
If not, is gas fired really that dangerous ???? I can understand the explosion hazard while the parts are being sprayed and a potential for there to be "some" dust floating around from the convection motor. Even an electric heating element could cause an explosion if there were enough dust in a confinded area.
I often use a hand held propane heater to melt the powder on test pieces rather than fire up the oven, If all I want to do it shoot one piece to test a color. The only way I ever got the powder to burn is if I held the torch in one place for a few seconds, and even then it would stop burning as soon as I removed the torch from that area.
