Oven fan

I am in the process of building an electric oven about 7 ' long, 4 feet high and 3 feet wide. I know that air that circulates will maintain a more even temp. Has anyone installed a fan in an oven and if so what kind.

revyman,

Here is the fan that I installed into my oven. There are pictures and a parts list on my website. I would recommend getting a longer shaft motor and mounting it on the outside of the oven. Mine has a tendency to overheat if I do not use an external fan to cool the motor down.

If you mount the fan on a stand-off and add a blade on the outside the motor will run a lot cooler... The second blade acts like a heat sling...
Worked for ours...
