This past weekend, Target had a sale on Hamilton Beach 6 slice toaster ovens. Regularly 130 bucks, on sale for 80. I went ahead and picked one up, and I cannot imagine an oven that is more suited to powder coating boolits. It's really a sweet deal. It comes with a perfectly sized "air fryer" mesh basket that'll hold 20 pounds (nearly 1,100 rounds) of my 9mm boolits. It comes with a non-stick "catch pan" that is really nice, too... You just set the mesh basket on the catch pan, dump your boolits out of the container that you used to coat 'em, then just shake the mesh basket a bit over the catch pan, pop 'em in the oven, and you're set.
It appears to be PID controlled, too, as the indicated temperature was always within 5 degrees of my IR thermometer I used to verify the oven's temp.
So if you're in the market for a toaster oven for boolit PC'ing, I can't recommend it highly enough. Here's a link to the actual product, and it looks like it's still on sale for 80 bucks.
https://www.target.com/p/hamilton-be...n/-/A-54639402 That's not any sort of an "associate" link or anything.... I don't get any sort of kick-back, I just wanted to share a product that I think is probably the very best toaster oven you can get for the price to powder coat our beloved boolits. The web page shows that the normal price for the oven is 100 bucks, but the tag on the shelf at my local Target said that the normal price is $130.
It does have "convection" ability... there's a fan that circulates the air around, as long as you have the "air fry" button pushed in.
I've run about 30 pounds of 9mm 125gr boolits through it, and it does a great job. The wire mesh basket doesn't stick to the boolits very hard, and it doesn't really leave bad marks behind on the boolits, either.
The old Black & Decker oven I'd been using (that I got at a local second-hand store) is going in the trash.
I'd take it back to a second hand store, except that since it's been used to bake literally tons of lead, I think it should probably go in the trash, instead.
Ah well, enough of my ramblings... there's shooting to be done today!
