I got a big fridge(incubator)
I finally made my decision and went with a fridge as an incubator. All I have to do now is order 3 to 4 ft of 11 inch flexwatt and a thermostat and I'm rollin. Oh yeah and the little fan too. If anybody has any suggestions or pic's of their own conversion I'd appreciate a look.

I am jealous..I have been looking for a broken pop cooler for months to do just the same thing.

Re: I got a big fridge(incubator)
I just finished my wine cooler incubator last night. It has 4 shelves to hold up to 8 clutches. I drilled a hole through the back for the probe and power cord, and wired 3' of 11" flexwatt that runs off a Helix proportional thermostat. It came with a built in fan, and I'm going to hardwire a 2nd small cpu fan into the one it came with. It also has a tempered glass locking door and an LED to view the contents. I'm going to add water bottles full of vegetable oil above the heat tape to hold stable temps, but I ran it all last night and it held at ±0.1°of the set temp (88.9°). I'll get some pictures once everything is finished. It looks nice enough to keep anywhere in the house.

Re: I got a big fridge(incubator)
I like the idea of being able to see and set the temp without opening the door all the time very nice. Give me ideas!

Remember to remove the freon.

Re: I got a big fridge(incubator)
Here is my set up. We removed the fan it came with because it cooled it down too much. Now it has a computer fan that blows down(24/7) in front of the heat strip and is controled by a herpstat pro. It works perfect. Have a coke and a smile.
