I bought a used Masterbuilt smoker to use as an oven to do epoxy coatings on firearms.
The coating, Molykote requires a temperature of 300 degrees, but the highest setting on the smoker is 257 degrees !
I am thinking about covering the thermostat probe with fiberglass insulation and a tube of aluminum and using a mechanical oven thermometer to get the temperature I need.
Does this sound like it will work?
