A high speed oven comprising: electronics; an oven cavity; an air intake system; a heating element; and at least one directional conduit. At least the electronics and the air intake system are positioned below the oven cavity. Air drawn by the air intake system is directed across the electronics to the at least one directional conduit absorbing heat therefrom. This heated air is then directed by the at least one directional conduit to direct the air past the heating element for discharge into the oven cavity.
