Just finished building an incubator... It's pretty descent and will show pics (Kinda like a tutorial for those who want to build on in the future).

Basically it is built out of a fridge which has a separate section on top for the freezing part. It measures probably around 6ft tall X 3ft wide X 3ft deep. I bought all my products from RBI, not saying they're the only supplier. Everything cost me about $500.00. Below is a list of things you need:

Tools:

1. Scissors
2. A pair of Hands

Materials: (Most of the electronics are pre-wired for convenience)

1. Fridge
2. (1) Pre-wired Ranco Thermostat
3. (1) Helix
4. (2-3) Computer Fans with Adapters
5. Foil Tape
6. Heat Tape- (1) 3ft & (2) 2ft pieces wired parallel
7. (1) Extension Cord
8. A few garbage bag twister


The top section will use the 1 piece of 3ft heat tape.

The bottom section will use the 2 peices of 2ft heat tape.

You can use one fan in each section, but I think two fans on the botom section and 1 fan on the top will work better. (Remember, this application is for a fridge that has two seaprate compartments, one on the top and one on the bottom).

In my application, the heat tape that was connected in parallel, was desinged to have a "Slight" ovelap because of limited space.

... Directions with pics will follow next,
