There is nothing unique about the heating element in self cleaning ovens. The one I'm using with the fan is from such an oven. Mine is 8400 watts at 240v.

The reason I am having more difficulty reaching 700 degrees relates to the size of the oven (4 times the volume of a typical oven) and air leakage.

I am in the process of using an automotive silicon sealer on all the interior joints of the oven. If this doesn't bring it up to the desired temperature I will add an additional heating element - like a stovetop element. I can add about 1400 watts and still power it from my 40 amp breaker.

OK, that is good to hear. I hope things go well with the insulation and sealing efforts.
