Building a gas fired convection oven for powdercoating [Jamaica] 

+++

I was using a brick oven to cure my powder coating which were small items. Now the project is expanding and I need to build a new oven. I cannot use electricity, as that commodity is very expensive it was suggested that I use lpg (liquid petroleum gas) so I need to build a gas fired convection oven. I have worked the size as being 8'H*6'W*8'D or 384 cubic feet. Mow my dilemma is this where do I put the fire box(area with the burners) at the bottom of the oven area or to the back and where do I put the ducting for the fan, top of the oven to the front/top of the oven to the back, and how wide do I make the ducting. Looks like I need more than 1 fan. Lastly what would you recommend to line the interior of the oven area, high temp paint or....,I have used 1/8" thick mild steel to make the oven area already cannot afford stainless steel please help in the poorman's way as possible. I've just really started.
