In this video we discuss the powder coat oven I built that measures 4 ft wide x 10 ft long x 8 ft tall and is propane powered, and some things happening with the shop.

I have included the links to Amazon for the PID, Relay and Thermocouple in the video description.
Thanks
I’ve been watching about 200 videos on making an oven. 16 months into it today.18th. Trying to figure out the propane burner now. Have electricity that still has to finish. But i went into this blind also. I can only spend a few hours a day at my shop. Plus other projects every now and then. I try not to take anything much. Because I want to get my shop together. Fabrication. Went into that blind also. Your advice on the propane helped me out a lot. I do already have 2 100 lbs tanks. Thank goodness I was able to see yours again. Mine is 8x7x6 tall ,depth ,width . Thank you
Thanks for watching! Glad the video could help!
Definitely the nicest diy oven I’ve seen
Thank you!
Definitely show the build
It would be very interesting watching you do the re-clip.
Yes Sir could you please help me on your electrical box on your powder coat oven. I would love to build one as well.
Thank You

How can I help you?
I would watch videos about clipping the car and build up.
Can you make a video of your prep before coating what do you use to prep frames that large
I have a cage kart to do this week in illusion purple. I’ll put something together. Thanks for the comment and watching!
May I ask why you went with forced air propane heater instead of a propane 200,000 BTU conventional heater?
The main reason for the forced air heater was because we had one in the shop. When it worked I bought one similiar to it.
Great oven build. What PID controller etc are you using if you don’t mind me asking.
The inkbird pid off of Amazon. With its thermal couple and the solid state relay.
@@mlc_fab is there a certain model # for it

Hey bud very nice oven. Mine is a very similar setup. Just wondering how your temp is staying so close to your setpoint. Are your inkbird pid settings factory or did you adjust it? Mine is overshooting about 20 degrees both ways. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Thanks for the comment. I only changed 2 settings in the inkbird. Selecting for Fahrenheit and one other where you had to change a setting to k I believe. I’ll have to look at the controller and check for sure. Can post a short of my settings if that will help.
@@mlc_fab Ok bud thanks! I will keep trying to work it out. I noticed you have an adjustable reg on your gas hose, what pressure are you running? Thanks! And your doing some great work!
You need to use a adjustable regulator otherwise it burns too much gas, more than likely your overheating issue.
If you and another gas bottle with an automatic change over, you will deplet the first bottle. It doesn't have enough pressure to keep up once the gas starts getting low. Ideally 4 bottles connected would be perfect and also if you every have your bottle freezing it will solve that problem as well. Thanks for sharing your video.
Been wanting to add a second bottle. Right now I’m getting 12-13 hours on this cylinder. Get a little frosting. But don’t see a change in heating until I’m down to the last 4 or 5 gallons.
I take it you don’t have a home built oven, stop giving misleading information regarding 4 bottles.
Hey mate when your heater turns off does your oven hold the same temperature for 20 minutes or is your heater constantly turning on and off the whole time to maintain the same heat? I just built a electric heating element oven and if takes forever to heat up and draws way too much power and I'm wanting to go the propane or diesel powered heater route.
Thanks for the comment. The oven is off 1:00 to 2:00 minutes. Runs for 1:30 to recover. With better insulation and some sealing I believe it could be better
You have to have the vents? Couldnt you chimney it outside
I have actually been considering running a chimney to the outside. The only vent I currently have in the oven is in the lower corner of the door. To help with pressure inside the oven.
so your heater has self ignitor built in? im just asking because mine requires me to push in the temp level to start gas flow
Yes it has auto ignite. It had a thermostat and I bypassed it.
Where do I find them panels?
I got them through a local Semi van trailer Maunfacturer. Wabash calls it duraplate. Vanguard has a version of it as well which is what i used.
how many heat cycles doues the propane tank lasts?
12-16 hours of oven time. With pid if the part was in the oven for 40 minutes. The heater would only be on for roughly 20 minutes of that.
thats nice. do you have the wiring diagram od the PID controller and the relay?@@mlc_fab
@@sergioavitia7487 I can put something together for it.
does your 175k Mr haeter have a built in propane shut off valve in it
Are you taking safety shut off? Or just standard shut off?
I was just wondreing if you had to do any mods to the heater itself? I see some vids of people putting a propane shut off in the heater on smaller BTU heaters@@mlc_fab
@@rjwentworth4168 I ran the heater just as it came out of the box for 6 months. Eventually bypassed the thermostat. Then had to replace the gas valve after it gave out. replaced it with a 110v valve I had here.
thank you i'm just getting thing in order to start powder coating. I currently have a 4x5x8 oven I'm building. trying to learn as much as possible before I start@@mlc_fab
