Go here and read about the garbage can oven. I drilled a hole in the bottom of the can-installed a 150 watt heat lamp, cut a square hole in the edge of the can lid to fit longer stocks, set the can upright, covered the bottom of the can with alcoa tin foil and cooked 10 rifle stocks to zero cosmo in one weekend

I also had a temperature gauge so that the temp inside stayed at 160 degrees. You dont want the stocks to get really hot-the 150 watt bulb gets the inside of the can over 195 if you let it run for more than 30 minutes. When the temp got over 170 I unplugged the light and let it get down to 155 then plugged it back in.

On longer stockes I cooked one end and the reversed the stock to get the whole thing done. Bring a bunch of rags and be careful cause the stock gets hot

This works like nothing I have ever seen-plus you can drink beer and watch it cook!!!!

stay safe
