The oven described herein comprises at least one conveyor for carrying food products through a bake chamber to be cooked, a bake chamber with openings for conveyor(s), an air heating, distribution and return system, a fan box that contains means for pressurizing heated air and a drive end that contains the fan motor, conveyor drive motor(s) and oven temperature controls. The bake chamber, air distribution components, air return components and conveyor(s) are designed so that all components may be easily and quickly removed for cleaning while allowing access for maintenance. Each conveyor has a separate speed control and may travel in either a left to right or right to left direction. The air heating, distribution and return system features a burner tube mounted at the rear of the fan box, at least one centrifugal fan which rotates on an axis perpendicular to the direction of conveyor travel, return air ducts, a central return air opening between fans (for embodiments with more than one fan) and hot air distribution manifolds for impinging hot air on the top and bottom surfaces of product being cooked. Heated air is provided at the rear of the hot air distribution manifolds. The oven controls are side-mounted and centrally located to facilitate field service. Each oven is self-contained so it may be stacked with other ovens to provide increased baking capacity in a relatively small volume of kitchen space.
