Where's Mike Walters when you need him? This clearly needs a few experimental prototypes before we can settle on a working model.

Hmmmm...could you incorporate the convection feature Duncan alluded to in a previous post? Pull the hot air off the tubes and recirculate it into the baking compartment with some sort of tiny fan? You'd probably still get enough radiant heat from underneath to do a decent bake

This thread is classic...

While I know this ruins the poetry of it all, most of the heat from tubes comes from fairly constant current sources and isn't greatly impacted by what, whether, or how you play. Playing should generate marginally more heat than not playing, but probably not enough of a difference to worry about. My only worry is what happens to the tubes when instead of dissipating the heat, like we normally try to do, we collect it and allow them go get hotter than they're designed to go. We may need to get someone to design us some special heat hardened vacuum tubes. Introducing the new JJ/Tesla 6L6-EB (Easy Bake).

Right now I'm imagining the tubes being oriented parallel to the ground underneath a sheet of hard pyrex, that becomes the baking surface. The ceiling and three walls of the "oven" part are then lined with something shiny, like chrome, to reflect the heat back onto the cookies. For max efficiency, the oven part should be just high enough to allow getting cookies in and out and no higher.

Like taking candy from a baby...

Question: would certain musical variations produce different heating patterns? If so, could one match different variations with the style of cooking one is engaged in at the time?

Adagio in D-flat major for guitar and cassoulet?

I can't believe I never thought of that before. This has become my new next project.
