No mate, its a Quartz Tube Infra-Red Element using a filament of probably a Tungsten alloy, or maybe Nichrome, etc.Unlike a QH/QI lamp, where the internal space is lightly pressurised with an inert gas that is non-reactive with the filament material, the IR Quartz Tube is usually filled with N2.Mal.

I think that you will find that the Behmor uses a quartz halogen heat source, and at less than $400 on BeanBay it would be pretty hard to beat

Some Turbo Ovens also use a Halogen Lamp as the Heat Source plus the added benefit of plenty of light illuminating the roast....

Yep that will work as well

Re: What about halogen? Anyone tried?

Similar to the LG oven, I was wondering how using halogen bulbs would work for roasting. Any articles etc. on this?

Im not talking about the digirosto pro1500, but a more home made version.
