Cooking part in the BBQ?

[Jay87T]

I have a old BBQ can I cook the powder coating in the BBQ? lets say I put it on a metal tray so no flames fire upward onto the part.

This is probably the first time i have been asked this. I like new approaches. Ok simple answer-- sure why not. Ok long answer-- if you can contain the flames away from the part and keep the temp consistant it could be done, however I will warn you that the results won't be perfect due to the smoke and ash passing the part will cause defects or blemishes.

I kinda like this idea. Seeing as how until I get my oven built, I've been using a steel box with my torpedo heater attatched to it with ductwork. I have an old grill also, Wonder if I can heat it up with my torp and use it?

how dose the box heater work out ... good results? i got a small toaster oven i been using just for little parts .. but i am going start sending my bigger parts out . to trg for powder coating ...i am just learning powder coating .. and it is not like polishing ...

It works ok. Just have to keep an eye on the inside temp. I use an old meat thermometer that goes up to 500deg. When the box gets up to 400 I shut the torp off and it usally holds the temp long enough to bake the part. So far no problem.
