I am just about finished on my oven curing oven. I started out with a proofing cabinet, about the size of a refrigerator, they are used by bakers. I got the cabinet from a local online auction for $20. I lined the cabinet with 2" rigid rock wool then faced that with aluminum sheet metal.
I have the PID controller from a smoker I built a few years back and only need to add the heating elements and it should be GTG for everything but artillery pieces as I have 40" of clearance.
I understand this is probably overkill but most of the stuff I had on hand.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but if you search over on Snipershide, there was a thread on ovens. Ranging from a home-made gun cabinet version, rehab-ed industrial ovens to flower pots and chimney tiles.
Harvest some ideas and run with 'em.

Ummm, any chance you could do this on a normal barbeque? My BBQ is just large enough to lengthwise hold a barrelled action up to a 22" bbl, pending action length. So, my 20" .375 H&H bbl'ed action fits with a couple inches to spare.
It's outside, temperature controllable, and big enough. Any bad news if I did this? How badly would this affect my BBQ after all is said and done?

I would think the problem would be keeping the barreled action clean inside a BBQ grill until the coating cured. The oven pictured above can be built for about $40 and you'll never eat out of it. The hardest part about building it is putting 2 holes in a paint can lid. It's pretty much downhill from there. Terry

As soon as I saw TC1's "oven", I thought of the HiTemp pipe insulation. If you know, or work in the oilfield, that stuff is plentiful. At least up here it is. Thanks to the OP for starting this, and the rest of you for you input. Maybe I'll give cerakote a try on an old 22. Later....
