Take out the oven heating elements and look very closely near where they enter the wall of the oven. The wattage is usually printed on the element.

Wattage per oven is not what you need wattage per element is what you need . Remove the elements from the ovens get a DVOM and take a resistance reading (ohms) of the element and then use the ohms law calculater.

Someone posted where to purchase oven elements. My power source is a 7000w generator given my house is way to far from my shed. I'm looking for a 220 element rated 2500w or 3000w tops.

Any idea where to get these?

Thanks,
Mick

I have quite a few extra 18 ohm elements (used) if your intrested. They go for $25 new (from what I found) I would go $15 (per) plus shipping if your intrested.

I have well over 100 verified paypal sells...
