Quick note to say I haven't bought any of the gadgets yet but have run the oven twice under two different circumstances and was amazed at the meter results.

4 hour total run time. 1.8 hours to get to 300F. Open and load. 1 hour to get back to 300, 1 hour to run at 300. kWh used: 30. That is SHOCKINGLY low. That equates to about $4. $4 Plus delivery so let's call it $8.


5 hour total run time. 1.25 hour to get to 250. Left it running because I was still shooting Cerakote. Open and load. 35 minutes to get back to 250F. 2 hours to run. kWh used: 33.

I basically took a pic of the meter outside, started the oven, took a pic at reaching initial temp and then one after the final bake.

I think I have to get one of those devices now though the meter can't lie.
