They are a little smaller than a household oven but still larger than most of the alternatives for the price. They do require some slight modifications to get them up to 400+ Degrees F, mainly just add some insulation and some sheet metal to the bottom portion so that it retains heat better. There are a couple of YouTube videos showing the modifications, just search "powder coating oven electric smoker". If you are looking for a different alternative, occasionally the old 110V Harbor Freight Powder Coating ovens pop up on ebay. They are discontinued in stores so you'll have to find a used one.

We insulated this box with fire resistant 3/4" insulation board and covered with sheet metal used for duct work. The heat elements were from a propane grill that was 5' wide I no longer used. It gave me 4 burners and the unit heats very quickly. I can get it to 450 degrees in about 10 minutes and turn off the burners and it holds the heat for 15 minutes. We built a frame out of angle iron and put fiber wheels on it to easily move around.

This is the only reliable way I know to run an electric household oven. I don't think a 900watt generator would be close to enough. The average household oven needs around 3000 watts. If you are trying to run an oven off of a generator, you may be able to source an oven for an RV.

However they are discontinued so you would need to search ebay and craigslist. Otherwise, you can use a toaster oven. The Oster TSSTTVXLDG is the largest toaster oven out there that I could find.

The...Yes, gas ovens can be used for powder coating. The biggest powder coating ovens out there all use gas. The idea that you cannot use it is just one of those rumors that people like to spread about powder coating.<br /><br />However, you still need to be safe when using a gas powder coating oven. Never spray powder inside the oven and avoid spraying it around the oven if it is on. Powder, like any fine dust in the right concentration, has the capacity to explode if it comes into contact with a spark while it is in the air. <br /><br />Spraying your parts in a spray booth and then placing them in the oven leaves virtually zero chance of an accident. The powder on the parts is not floating around and the spray booth has contained and hopefully caught all the powder on filters. There is basically no chance of an explosion happening unless your entire garage/shop has enough powder floating around that it is actually limiting your visibility. That or you are spraying powder directly into the oven. As long as that doesn't happen, you will be fine.<br /><br />Just for the sake of the very rare freak accident happening and to protect myself from any possible liability, I have to tell you to do this at your own risk type but if you do some quick research, you will see that many many many shops use gas fired powder coating ovens. Hope that helps!PowderCoatGuidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12345212251907477269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576346347573188227.post-75375838321298720622016-02-22T23:43:28.376-08:002016-02-22T23:43:28.376-08:00Sorry but once an oven has been used for curing po...Sorry but once an oven has been used for curing powder coating, it is no longer safe for food. I would never feel safe feeding my dogs or any dogs treats that have been baked in a powder coating oven. I'm sure that is not the answer you were looking for. What I would do in your situation is sell the oven on craigslist or similar site and use that to buy several toaster ovens. 4 toaster ovens = about 1 harbor freight powder coating oven and they can be had for very cheap or sometimes free. The harbor freight powder coating oven is very sought after among hobbyist powder coaters so it would likely sell very quickly and for a decent amount. It is discontinued so you will likely be the only person selling one in your area.

I don't powdercoat but make dog treats for a non profit. Can you clean an oven somehow and then use to make dog or human food safely? It would just help dehydrate the treats without taking up our normal oven space. So just wondering if it's worth it to clean and if safe to use?bunkie girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00543870023173622730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6576346347573188227.post-80580091910032280712016-02-18T12:12:37.103-08:002016-02-18T12:12:37.103-08:00So can you use Gas ovens for Powder coating? in re...So can you use Gas ovens for Powder coating? in researching this I read yes and no, even claims that the powder of the paint is explosive.
