That would indeed seem to be a critical piece of missing information. Another would be if it stays fired the whole time or is somehow cycling on and off. Also depends on pre-heating to what temp? 300? 450? I don't know if gas ovens have changed, but a few years ago I replaced my electric ovens and the new ones definitely take longer to heat up compared to the 25 year old ones. I'm guessing maybe 50% longer. If I had known this before I switched, I would have measured it to confirm it. I think it probably takes at least 20 mins to get to 400F. Next time I run it I'll time it, just to know. |

I'd ask the store or manufacturer if you'd get faster preheat times, if you put a cake pan of low octane gasoline in the broiler, and lit that off as part of the preheat. Are you certified for thermite? That might help. -- .. Christopher A. Young Learn about Jesus www.lds.org .. |
