I took my thermoelectric Coolers out. Enlarged the area inside, so the lager heatsinks will fit. Flip the Coolers around so that the hot side is on the inside of the wine cooler. Sealed everything up real good. Then I wired the thermoelectric Coolers to a 12 volt powersupply then plug the powersupply to the thermostat. After a few adujustments with the temperature, I have a very awesome and accurate incubator. Thermoelectric wine coolers make great incubators. With a little reworking there is no need for heat tape.

Cool idea! I'm gonna just go with the flexwatt for now, but I suppose I always have the option to try that out.

I was nervous about it in the beginning. It has been running for 6 months straight without issue. Crossing fingers lol!

Loving the incubator and how simple it is! Did you just buy it new? And could you do this with any incubator?

I got it used on craigslist. You can convert basically any fridge/cooler into an incubator. Anything that will maintain temps well.

Mine is only for 12. But it is enough room for about 4 or 5 egg boxes.
