http://www.drillspot.com/products/295973/Taylor_Precision_1470_Digital_Oven_Thermometer Here...this is 17 bucks, but you could use it to check temps before you cook anything.RUn the oven a while, check it every ten minutes to get an idea of the fluctuations.Cheaper than buying a replacement.

Hey, do you know anything about ovens? My oven is out of control all of a sudden, it's like the thermostat is out of whack or something, it's burns everything to a crisp in less than 10 minutes. I'm pretty fucking pissed too, the whole stove is less than 10 years old and this is the second problem I've had with the piece of shit.

They just don't make things like they used to, that is for sure.

Sucks, my oven just broke too. And major plumbing issues.. Why does shit like that ALWAYS have to happen when you owe mega money and taxes... when it rains it pours I guess.... but seriously, you know? I just called my credit card company cuz I owe like over 30 grand on it, and I said how I am in a financial bind with the economy and all, if I paid a lump sum could I pay like 50 cents on the dollar and just pay 15 grand and be done and she said she could take a few hundred off if I pay it all in a lump sum!?!?!?!? a few hundred!! She said, since I have perfect credit, and pay my bills on time, I am not eligible for a hardship?!?!? Id have to be delinquent in my payments.. So, you actually get penalized for trying to do the right thing... she did lower my interest rate which is still robbery.... if I just stopped paying, then Id be a "hardship" and I could probably pay some way lower lump sum, but then that would ruin my credit... cant win cant win...Im so frustrated with life, cant wait to get home and see my pup and smoke some herb and forget about the crap in life for a while... sorry for venting

I'm sorry to hear it.A few years ago, I was homeless for about a month,sitting on a low tree branch,taking a crap, and almost fell backward into my own pile of doo doo.If that had happened, I would have went on a killing spree.But things got better.

So maybe it's your oven venting? :mrgreen:

Seriously tho, what happened to your oven? How did it break?
Gas or electric?


Stoney, dig a hole next time... :lol:

I finally found a temp gauge for the oven and came to the conclusion that it's 150 degrees off. Zing...... no wonder shit's been burning the last few days.

I tried to adjust the thermostat as per directions (loosen screws on the back of the temp dial and move slidy thingy over, retighten screws) I don't know if I'm overanalyzing this, but it doesn't seem to me like that would make any difference.

Turned oven back on, it's still about 100 degrees over where it should be, but it doesn't suck so much now, I can adjust and compensate for it and still cook now.

I don't know what the hell happened to make it freak out like this. Fucking thing, I think it knows I quit smokin and it's trying to make me go on a shooting spree. :wink:

did you check the temprature probe inside the oven and make sure it's not coated with any goo?

on my oven it's at the top at the very back and looks something like this...

Thats where I'd look... if the elements aren't screwed..(low or no heat) the thermostat is next.. some are old copper wire with what looks like a small cigarillo on the end... if you check inside and pull oven away from wall you may see its broken, coated as said before(lightly clean with emory paper).. and how easy to replace... better to start with a $16. sensor before calling in the big guns.....
