I'm looking for some advice on where to locate the heating elements in my 2' x 3' x 4' oven.
I see a lot of them built in the walls vertically and I was going to have them installed vertical, but isn't putting them on the floor a better design for heat distribution over the parts?
Here is my current design:
The dark blue box on top will be a blower and the purple channels will carry the hot air back down.
The orange are the elements.
The yellow is just 12 gauge steel.
Is there any reason I shouldn't put them on the floor? I can cut some sheet metal to cover them for protection if that's a concern.
