    Cast iron oven build

    Wired the thermostat up and tested. I put a 3ply cardboard sheet over the big hole in the top of the oven (where the second oven will sit once I've worked out how I'm going to lift it on). Set target temp to 85C. It reached this within about 10 minutes and held it there steady. I didn't want to...

    Cast iron oven build

    Holes drilled and element mounted. I'm just going with 1 x 2.5kw element to start with, hopefully this will be powerful enough or I will need to add another.

    Cast iron oven build

    I'm using the inside top liner to make a false bottom for the oven. I also managed to salvage some metal from an old oven a friend was throwing out, am going to use this to mount my element. Both sprayed with oven cleaner awaiting a good scrub.

    Cast iron oven build

    Been busy recently and not managed to update the thread. I have made a base for the smoker to sit on, with castor wheels so I can move it (slightly) to clean behind it etc. Just need to line the top with fireboard.

    Cast iron oven build

    I think I have it worked out- I managed to find a really helpful video on youtube which explained the basics. Can post the link to the vid if anyone interested. If you have got a link though for the instructions that would be great- it never hurts to have them on file just in case! Mine were all...

    Cast iron oven build

    My ebay PID arrived yesterday. I didnt get back in until late, but managed to do a bench test. I wired it to a spotlight for testing purposes. Actual temp shown on screen was accurate (19c) and I set desired temperature at 28c. The light started pulsing on an off. I put the probe in some cold...

    Hi from England

    Thanks for the welcome! Will be sure to check out the UK forums. Wade- I looked at the FEC120 but was a bit out of my budget though a great looking unit. I really like the look of the bbqmates builds, thanks for the link!

    Cast iron oven build

    Really it needs to be one big chamber not two seperate ovens, so after procrastinating for a while and trying (unsucessfully) to unscrew the lid from the bottom oven, I decided to saw a big hole in it. First I drilled pilot holes where the corners of the cuts will be to prevent stressing (these...

    Cast iron oven build

    First got rid of all the gas burners and pipework etc. Spanners and angle grinder did the trick here.
