I think there is new hope. I have been messaging hundreds of people for days saying this is not about bashing Plainsman, it is about keeping Digitalfire free. Please cool it and wait.
I use this to dry our SHAB test samples and DFAC test samples. It has many racks, heats to 165F, has a timer and is well suited for the drying factor test (and drying all sorts of things). By adjusting the heat setting, it is possible to tune it to give a slight crack on our best drying clay (all other results are thus in relation to that). This oven is available on Amazon and is inexpensive.
