Up-Graded Pregnant Oven

Post by Jeff L »

my 1st attempt at a pregnant oven was only a one shot deal.I didnt want to make one every time I had something a little bigger than my oven can hold.I decided to make a permanent one.I now have an additional 10" of space in the oven.Its 1/4" cement board sandwiched between two peices of flashing.1/4" aluminum channel around the edges & pop rivited together.I screwed it all together ,so it can be taken apart & stored.Its held on the oven by 4 draw latches.I had run a bead of high temp silicone when I screwed the sides & top, but there is none where it meets the oven or on the door.I tested it & there is no real difference between the original & the add on in time to get to 400 degrees, roughy 15 minutes.So now I can do my wheels & frontend instead of sending them out.Wound up costing me about $60.00

I have to decide if I want to add a window on the door.Being it wont be used much, it might be more trouble than its worth.
