My thought was to do this in my outdoor LP grill!
I hope it's a new one. That doesn't sound conducive to spraying paint cleanly!

Absolutely. Hit me up and I will share all my secrets.
There you go. Nothing any of us can add here that Jeremy doesn't already know better!

I've done it, it's no big deal.
Just like any other surface finish, the work is in the prep.

I have a few minutes between colors so here it is in a nutshell-
A good spray gun is not cheap, this is not the time to be a supporter of harbor freight.
Go with the C series paint which are air cure so you don't stink up an oven meant to eat food from.
All the directions Cerakote will give you outside in person classroom time are on their website, you will want to heat the parts up prior to spraying to ensure you removed all the grease. This is in their application guide.
Practice as much as you can with little and complicated bits like bolts and nuts and recyclables like glass bottles so we can test your application is not too thick to thread the nuts or too thin you can see a change in the pattern as you twist the bottle around in your hands under decent lighting.
Don't be incredibly hard on your handiwork, others will gladly fill in for that role.

What is the temp required to cure the heat cure type of paint? My question is could I potentially make a simple wire 'rack' and set the parts on top of my shop woodstove to cure?

No, the heat needs to be even around the part.
I used to have an old oven in my shop just for doing this stuff. If you're getting into it and think you'll do a bunch, I got an old working oven off craigslist for $25. It was gorgeous '70's green and everything!

How about if I was able to 'contain' the heat by setting a metal box over the parts on top of the stove ? I know it would not be perfect but would keep the heat somewhat contained.

Maybe. IIRC, it needs to be around 300°F. If your box can maintain that for an hour, you're golden.

I can most likely do this - + / - a few degrees but I can probably keep it pretty consistent
