Can I use an electric clothes iron to control a quartz heating element?

Some further information is required for us to get a grasp of your intended project.

we are mainly a bunch of electricians, most of us are not telepathic as far as I know.

Welcome to the forum mate.
As above, we need more info.
A quick Google says that the temp of a clothes iron is between 180-220º C (356-428 Fahrenheit)
Is your quarts heating element within that range?

for the technical details of an iron , i need to consult a higher authority ,'er indoors. she's the one that takes it off the fire when it's hot enough.

Thanks.

You might find an oven simmerstat works if not bothered about an exact temperature.Think they go up to 15Amps.

I want to convert my Ambiano convection oven to conventional oven. Is there a circuit I could build that would let me use the halogen element without the fan? It's a project I would love to do no matter how difficult. Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something... so you want to use the oven as an oven but without the fan ? Just disconnect the fan ??

Curious to know why - is this some "specialised type of cooking", such as using the oven for SMD solder reflow of PCBs?
