I very much doubt that the stability of the existing crystals in a
homemade oven would come within two orders of magnitude of a divider
referenced to a GPSDO. Not to mention that for the oven to work
properly, it would have to hold the crystals significantly above
ambient temperature, which would presumably be rather far from their
optimum tempco point.
Best regards,
