Two comments:  Gas ovens may add moisture not bake it out.  Gas
combustion produces H2O and CO2 I believe.  Drying oven should be
electric.
But, so far I've never needed to bake anything because I always keep
my big iron indoors where I run a dehumidifier set to 40% whenever the
air feels damp.  No problems so far.
