Abstract
The invention discloses a simply designed oven which uses forced air convection as a heating mechanism. One or more drums can be installed in the oven over a catch basin of sufficient volume to include the contents of at least one drum. A gear or similar pump is provided to agitate the contents, as well as to perform the pump-out feature. An inert gas blanketing system is provided for each drum so that additional inert gas is supplied to replace the contents being pumped out of the drum while excess vapors created from the warming process, which could ignite if placed adjacent an ignition source, can be piped to a safe place remote from the oven interior.
