No specific answers to your LinuxCNC questions, just a general
reminder.  If you are going to leave this oven unattended, you
want some brute-force dirt-simple over temperature protection.

Like a Klixon temperature switch and a contactor.  

No semiconductors, no software.

True story:  My former employer had a 40 deg C burn-in oven
for testing small VFDs.  Over a weekend, the solid-state relay
used to control the heating element failed shorted.  On Monday
we found 6 drives whose plastic covers looked like something
out of a Salvador Dali painting.
