Display fridge vs Conventional for an incubator?
Would it be better for me to just use a conventional fridge for incubation or like a display fridge with a glass front? Does light interfere with the process at all?
Re: Display fridge vs Conventional for an incubator?
I have an upright freezer for an incubator, works well. I'm replacing it with a large coke cooler with the glass door that's swings open not the one thats slides. I known a few breeders that uses the coolers with the glass doors and they all like them.

I haven't built one myself yet but when i do im going on craigslist and buying a used wine cooler if seen tons for under $50 on craigslist in my area. I like the idea of being able to see everything like the temps and what the eggs look like without opening the door and loosing heat.

Even with the glass front you still open it and check stuff out, as long as you use plenty of water bottles in the bottom it's not an issue.
I can hold mine open for several minutes and not have it drop more than 1 degree and that recovers to full temperature within 5 minutes.
True brand commercial coolers are awesome for incubators :gj:
