    how do you hook up a thermostat to a hovabator

    is it just as simple as plugging the hovabator into the thermostat, or is there a certain way to do it. Please help.

    Plug in your T-Stat to the outlet. Plug your Hovy into the T-Stat. Put the probe from the T-Stat inside the hovy or wherever you will be measuring temps. Set the Temp and turn on the hovy and you're good to go.

    I could be wrong but that should be good.

    Make sure that the temp adjustment on the hovabator itself is cranked all the way up, that way the temp will be controlled by the external thermostat you're using. If the temp adjustment is set too low on the hovabator, then the external thermostat will never have a chance to regulate the temps.

    Good point, didn't think of that.

    Hey OP, with that awesome collection you got in your sig what you doing using a hovy, you should be converting an old fridge or something
