They were seriously going to throw this lab oven in the dumpster. I thought maybe it was broken but I tested it out and it works perfectly! It's a Quincy Labs gc30 Lab oven, new ones go for around $1,000 and I can't believe I got to it before it got trashed. The gods were definitely smiling upon me. I'm going to try making all kinds of shit in this thing (can't use flammable s with it). First of which will be as a warming cabinet for some Malawi-Style cob fermentation, which has been an obsession for a couple of weeks now.
The oven has three holes on the top for thermometers to calibrate the temperature dial, or one could stick a thermometer into whatever is being heating. "The unit can operate 25 degrees F (15 degrees C) above room temperature but temperature stability will be degraded. Stability improves
appreciably for settings that exceed ambient by 40 degrees F (20 degrees C) or better.", with a high temp of 450/232.
Blows my mind...
