Until I get a new toaster oven that is!
Mrs. goodsteel has stolen it and it now sits on the kitchen counter and we are using the fool out of it for darn near everything. You know you can get a square casserole dish in that little thing?!?
Anyway, I guess I can't begrudge her that, seeing as how many tupperware containers, T-shirts, and dish rags I have waylaid over the years! LOL!
The tables appear to have turned in this house. I have to wonder though: Am I losing control?
Have any of you other booliteers experienced a counter offensive move like this?

I'm trying to figure out where I went wrong, but I think the problem is that I didn't paint it camo or something fast enough.

My friend, not to tell a man his business, but has it been used to powdercoat yet?

It might not be real safe to cook in, if so.

Just sayin'

Now, if the above criteria wasn't met and it's not seen powdercoat, and she claimed it before you used it, well then, that's on you :drinks:

Not enough to worry about. She wiped it out real good.

I wonder what the lovely little thief is going to steal next.....

Guard the ziplock bags, I always have to buy 3 or 4 boxes because she'll 'appropriate' a box or two to keep from having to run to the store :-?

Mine has lots of overspray baked onto it. I doubt she will touch mine. Your mistake was not dirtying it up so bad she wouldn't want it.

I'd never chance it. Toaster ovens are cheap.

I got my oven on sale at Menards for under 40 bucks. It is a small convection oven that holds a decent number of bullets at one time.

Gotta be quick in this world. Next time, just drip a dab of LLA in it and turn it on. She won't want it.

Just a little Off-Topic... PC-ers (not here in this thread) keep saying "I got my toaster oven at <insert store> for a great deal", but I've yet to find a thread specifying a brand of convection oven... I do need one, as my 15 year old oven seems to think that 300 degrees should melt lead, so I have to inflict 'manual control' on it... I'm going to Menards to find that $40 convection oven, but I'd still like to hear more about brands...

What brand did you lose, Goodsteel???

Oster toaster oven. It was $29.99 on sale at Walmart, and a 2 year warranty was only $4 more. Has baked quite a few bullets now.

A truly GREAT OVEN for baking Coated projectiles is the;

BREVILLE BVO800XL "Smart Oven"

Pricey though at $250.

Convection, has levels of heat, it controls the heat very well.

I set my oven at 380F and had 3 other thermometers 1 Bar-B-Que Digital Probe read 378F,

One in oven regular Oven Thermometer read about 380F,

One Digital Probe that came with a N.O.E. mold I ordered read 368F.

It's really a FANTASTIC oven for doing this stuff.

It does what it claims it can do.

I've been working with some HI-TEK "GOLD COLOR COATINGS" and it's NICE.

Some day I'll try some Powder Coatings.

I mostly shoot handguns and the HI-TEK coatings seems to be working for me.

Toastmaster toaster over bought for $19.97 at Walmart. It is kind of small though. I set up a 8" x 9" sheet of 16g steel with a 1 " grid and ended up with 72 spots for the bullets to set. I made 2 of the steel sheets so I can rotate. 1 is baking while I set bullets on and powder coat the other to get it ready for baking. Keep switching back and forth and it doesn't take long at all to coat a bunch of bullets.

I used J-B Weld to glue the nuts down. J-B Weld will withstand temps up to 575 degrees. J-B Weld turns from grey to a very dark brown at 400 degrees, but it is holding the nuts down very well.

I use a Wellbilt convection oven that cost around $100. Maintains temp within 15 degrees and is dead-on with the front temp dial.

Don't skimp on a cheap oven. I tried that early on with a used one from Goodwill. Crapola!!!!!!

As with any tool........buy the best you can afford to get the best product you can get.

Key is convection ( forced air with a fan). Do not waste time on a standard cal-rod type. Hot/cold spots will give you very poor results. They work OK for baking pizza and casseroles, but our boolits are MUCH smaller and need a uniform temp profile across the entire cavity of the oven.

And do not use your "boolit baker" for food once you bake even ONE batch. The outgassing collects on the sides and will not come off without using acetone, lacquer thinner and steel wool! Notice that "fog" that forms on the glass? That is over ALL the interior surfaces of the oven.

Euro-Pro convection, $40 at Lowes, on sale - to replace the 15 yr old Euro-Pro - which I got. New ones have a pizza rack & a regular rack, inside ~ 12x8", dual rack.

My bride seized the opportunity to relegate the old one to the garage for bullet experiments and bought a high dollar one (she won't say how much) at a yuppie kitchen shoppe.

I'd say you got off easy, lots'o guys loose more than half their stuff to women. Go get a new convection double rack toaster oven(50$walmrt), & if you want to keep it get some powder coating haze on it quick.

can't you use a kitchen oven? why is the toaster oven needed over the kitchen oven?

Hey goodsteel you need to head down to the Goodwill store and get one there.

If you have a spare old kitchen oven, the 220V circuit to run it on, and space for it in your shop/garage for it.......use it!


DO NOT.........DO NOT.............cure your boolits in your kitchen using your cooking oven!!!!!!!! You NEVER use the same oven to cook food in that has been used for PC baking. That has been covered in MANY threads on here MANY times in the past. The outgassing is over everything in there and is unsafe for your food. And you do NOT want those gasses in your home. No stove vent fan will get rid of them!

I have not looked up the complete chemical components of various powders, but BHA is in the news now....again......as a contaminant that cause cancer and migraines...and is in a bunch of plastics we use! Powder..................I do not know. But just don't do it.

Just do not use ANY of your cooking utensils for anything to do with lead, boolits, coating, curing!

Live long and prosper. The above advice will help with the first one!

I haven't used my shiny new toaster oven for that many loads yet..... but even though unloaded, and spotless inside (I haven't had any boolits fall off the washers or sheet yet), it will develop a strong paint/chemical smell when pre-heating now, that I would NOT want getting into/sticking-to any foodstuffs.

Tim, she already stole your heart and your PC oven. Better hang on tight to your calipers, scales and tape measures. That's what Mrs. smokeywolf and the wolf pups keep absconding with.

My wife won this a couple years ago off of a local news station give away contest thing. I don't think that there is any other toaster oven that I could buy that would make her even blink. I now have two out by my bench, one large for bigger PC'ing projects and a smaller digital unit for boolits. She bought them both for me at Goodwill and didn't even care about the price.........Because she has her Breville :bigsmyl2: The Breville does do an excellent job on broiling steaks!
