What to do with...?

I recently received two demo broiler units from my friend's dad. They both each have one broiler unit and a carbon fiber filament inside a quartz tube. (Just what my dad relayed to me from him.) What the hell should I do with these bad boys?

I don't have any good suggestions, but answers to those and more details generally would help get everyone started.

It sounds like what you've got is moderately high power heating elements, possibly with controls, possibly in a box. Depending on size they might be useful for fusing powder-coat paints or similar non-food baking jobs, and/or be able to function as heaters for a workshop. And/or they might pose a fire hazard.
