I bet a toaster oven would work just fine for small stuff to learn on.

Have you tried craigslist.org? There is probably a list for the big city nearest you ie. philadelphia.craigslist.org

Also, when Sears etc deliver a new oven, they haul off the old oven. Call a few appliance dealers and ask them what they do with their old ovens. If they are taking them to the dump, they may just bring one to you to save themselves the dumping fee.

Another source is FreeCycle . There are chapters all over the USA. That's where I got my free working gas oven from.
