Yes, gas heated though.

I couldn't throw her out, even physically despite her 90 lbs. She, with 
COPD, hurts and chokes when she wants a baked tater and fires it up.

I wonder it this one reports good temp accuracy, its about 5 years old & 
has a computer to run the oven.

Agreed, me too, I am amazed it does NOT trip the CO detector, damn that 
thing makes breathing difficult.

I did think about it, but we'd have to open all the doors and windows 
just to keep good air in the place.  As for me using it to anneal brass, 
she is used to me playing McGiver in the kitchen.  Its the startup fumes 
we don't like.

Back out to check, 373F in 1h:30m.  'Twon't do it, put it in broil mode, 
up to about 383F in another 10 minutes.  That won't do it either.  
Pulled the knob off the stat, no visible adjustments there.  If its not 
above 400 in another 15 minutes, shutdown time to see what I can do with 
the stat after its cooled.  I do not believe there is a shred of 
insulation as the outside is way too hot to touch.

Fun and disappointing games...  Might have to use the big oven yet.
