    Incubator question
    Alright so im making an old stand up freezer into a incubator and im using about 4 ft of 11inch Flexwatt to heat it my question is where should i put my thermostat probe? I know some people put it on the flexwatt but ive heard thats not good for the probe.

    Thanks!

    You dont want it on nor near the flexwat, otherwise the air wont heat up right.

    Most do is hand the prove from one of the shelves to achieve the temps you want.

    Mine is hanging off the bottom shelf where the probe sits between the tubs, which gives me a 88 bottom at 89 top

    My probe is hung right in the middle of the incubator's center shelf. That placement works for me. I agree with Rich, do not put it on the flexwatt. That may work for racks, but not for incubators.
