In my toaster oven, the heaters are, indeed, quartz tubes with 
resistive wire embedded in them.  They glow bright enough to see by 
(there is no other source of light in the oven).

Heater elements intended for room heating might overheat in an enclosed 
space, so allow for that in your design.

You'll have to make sure that the interior can take the heat, 
especially the turntable mechanism.  Rotating the work is an 
interesting idea.  Make sure you'll be able to see when the solder is 
melted when the PCB is rotating.
