propane heater

[FERmidable]

I am planning the construction of an oven that will be 8' deep x 4' front x 5' high. I build hand rails hence the 8' depth. It will be built without floor, the oven will be instaled directly on the ciment floor of the garage, this to use a wheels rack. I think it would be difficult to heat with electric elements... I will probably have to use propane.... I have read a lot on the subject but am still not sure of what type of heater, how many BTUs, and how many heaters I will need. More important, how and where should the heaters be installed on the oven? I would appreciate receiving pictures of already built propane ovens,( one pictures = 1,000 words!!!)and /or diagram.
1,000 Thanks....

Andre, I have no experience with propane or gas ovens but you might try going over to the Eastwood powder coat forum and placing a question there. I know there are a couple of people using gas fired ovens who are regular posters on that forum. Ed

Just a question for you? I did read on EW forum that someone ask if the floor had a vapor barrier when it was poured? I am guessing that if it didn't have one that the oven would keep pulling moisture up every time it was on? You might want to do some checking if possible.
