Today I spent some time taking apart the toaster oven that'll be modified into a reflow oven. Not surprisingly, it was mostly empty. The wires seen here are temperature resistant, so I will be hanging onto these, and unlike most others I plan to keep the knobs in place for aesthetics. Now I need to figure out where to mount the thermocouple, which by the way I had to remove the heat shrink from because it will be heated beyond its 250C rating. I also now need to order the Solid State Relay I've been putting off buying.
