Dave,

    Making your own isn't "rocket science".  You need a sheetmetal
box large enough to hold your largest part (you can pop-rivet 
individual sheets together to form the box), cut holes every nine inches 
or so, to allow the full head of an IR lamp to go through it.  The 
lamps will need to fill at least two of the side panels; for larger 
ovens, they'll need to go in the top too (but expect short lamp life 
on those.  The most expensive part should be all the lamp sockets 
(for recessed ceiling lights).
