Well thought out design, and assembly. How well does your oven approach and maintain, say 2150 deg F? Do you have a door seal, or is it brick to brick? Do you feel your element selection (gauge, diameter, current draw, length) is just right, or to big/small, for the oven size? Would you do anything differently? I'm currently replacing my smaller oven with a new build of 8"x8"x20", with argon purge. Just curious if you are satisfied with your design. Thank you.
Those 5 grey looking things with the wires going into them, are those terminals or what are they called and is that something I can find at home depot? thanks
What gauge of kanthal wire did you buy? Thermocouple from same website or arbor also? Running on a 30 amp ssr? Is there something you would like to change? And what are you using to heat your oil?
Sorry to keep bugging ya, your parts list shows a 120v relay...so I'm guessing your main switch is 120v not 24v? Where would the 24v power come from? I'm guessing you could split the 240v and send 120v leg to the main relay...Again, sorry to keep asking questions, I cant find a diagram, and I'm tying to wrap my head around this..
Sorry it's all 120 volt control wiring. Even the LED switch. I brought a neutral over from the panel and used one leg of the 220. That's why there are two small fuses on the front of the panel.
Great looking build! I'm building mine right now, it looks like we've got the same PID.

Very impressive, congratulations for your project, thanks for sharing.
Stellar job! Doesn't look home-made at all.:)
Superb craftsmanship! Well though
Very professional looking oven! Do you have plans or a video of the construction process? Thanks.
this is the nicest one I have seen. congrats on that. would like to know what your total build cost was.
Ostia lindo tu hornito!!!! Nice furnace.......
That is nicely done
The SSR only breaks one leg on the 220 volt. The other relay breaks both legs making it safe.
The safety switch was bought on Ebay. It is a plunger type limit switch. It breaks the 24 volt signal to the relay. Sorry no plans.
Great oven, did you buy plans? Are plans available? I like yours it has cool safty fetures.....Any help would be great Im wanting to build one...

nice job man
Why do you have two relais inside the electric box? Why don't you turn the elements on and off with the solid state relais?

Can you draw up a wiring diagram for this? I'm confused how this is wired and I wanted to make something similar to yours. Thanks!

did you have trouble programming the the your auber pid?
where you buy your limit switch? I'd like me one of them heavy-duty ones too, please! :D

220 from Budget Casting, Thermocouple from Arbor, 30 Amp SSR, No, electric hot water heating element from Home Depot.
where can i find the safety disconnect switch ?
I suspect the bricks alone was 210 at least to lowest I can find is 50 dollars a case
Is the LED switch from automation direct 24v working off the relay?
Yes, the switch turns the main relay on. It's wired in series with the door safety switch, so both need to be engaged.
Awesome! Thanks..I was wondering if I could do that..any special relay needed?
a Two pole rated for the amperage your using.
