 Incubator
Ok guys and gals... I have a mini fridge that I am turning into an incubator. I have a pretty good plan so far, but there is always room for improvement. Heat tape, rheostat, fan. Any thoughts?

Put 11" flexwatt on the back wall with a fan blowing down from the top. The fan can be controlled by a rheostat but the flexwatt should be controlled by a good thermostat (preferably a proportional thermostat)

Any suggestions for a good wallet friendly thermostat?

Herpstat 1 or 2 and VE-200 are all good choices and are all proportional.

Herpstat intro, Herpstat 1 basic or Herpstat 1.
Cheapest I would go with is a Ranco but only if I had no other choice.

herpstat 1 would be my suggestion as it offers the greatest safety features on the market at the lowest price but if not the 1 the intro which is only 100$ and has more safety features than any in this price point.

If it's anything like the other herpstats it should be a rock solid investment for an incubator.

So you want quality for cheap?
I don't believe that's possible, when looking for a thermostat you get what you pay for
