I would like to put our oven on a 7 day timer so I can program it to
go on and off at times of my choosing.

The specs say that they draw 40A @240V and require a 50A circuit.
Even the Intermatic commercial timers seem to tap out at 30A for
electronic ones and 40A for manual ones.

Anybody know of a good source of timer that would handle my load?

(interesting aside" my expensive "professional series" Thermador oven
doesn't have any timers whereas even the cheap white box appliances
are chock full of electronics0

I'm not sure this is a good idea, nor practical. How many items could you
leave in your oven for more than 12/24 hours without going bad, which would
necessitate more than a standard timer? Also, it seems like a huge safety
hazard. I'm not a big fan of leaving things in the oven unattended to begin
with, but to have a separate timer that could potentially be forgotten
about, meanwhile someone puts the electric skillet in the oven, oven kicks
in 2 days later when nobody's around... Bad news.

I agree. My mother was a worry-wort, and it made me a bit reckless,
but in this case, I agree with her too.

uh, this current draw is only when the oven is TURNED ON and
the thermostat switches ON. maybe a trickle of current if it has
a clock.

How about turning it ON when u want to use it and OFF when
through? I assume you're talking about an oven to bake food in?

odd request, if you don't wat an external oven temp controller and
timer (availiable from omega.com) then you could check places like
grainger.com or mcmaster.com for industrial grade timers.
