No reason not to use the "real oven" in the kitchen.
Strawing makes no odor, it only takes about 400-420 degrees.
Getting to 600 for the bright blue.may/ would be a little tough, would need a heat treating oven for that-or a torch. The blue has a much smaller temperature band to achieve the blue color, which is why the salts work well if controlled to exactly 600 degrees.
One could do the same thing with any media that was inert to the metal at 600 degrees.
