by all means. i have 3 ovens, a big 3x5x6, a house oven and a small toaster size convection oven. the toaster is great for small parts and will be a great way to start out. welcome and best of luck bro.

A regular oven is approx. 17" x22". and also it is vented at the top, so I dont think you need to circulate the air. I think I circulate to much air by opening and closing. Im always looking.

pootsman55 is correct. Smaller home style ovens really do not need air circulation simply due to size. Bigger ovens need fans to prevent cold spots inside the box (which is only bad if the part is residing in that area).
