[TheForge] Hot box

Sat Jul 27 14:05:01 2002

A good friend of mine has been powder coating with an old kitchen oven 
his his shop for years with acceptable results.
You should be able to pick up an old stove for cheap, and then you could 
cook when you want a quick snack...;-)
I have seen them locally at used appliance stores for under $100.
