    True Fridge Incubator Done
    Thought I would post a couple pics of the finished product. Had it running all weekend and it did great. :rolleyes:
    Ran a strip of 11in flexwatt down the back and it has 2 PC fans to circulate the air.
    I need to get a couple more tubs and 3 or 4 more Arizona Tea bottles for the water in the bottom. B
    ut it held temps great with very little split from top to bottom. Now I just need the eggs to put in it. I guess that will have to wait for next year but the Bator ran great. :D

    Great looking DIY! Very clean looking.
    I still need to finish my incubator. So far, I have only stripped my wine cooler.
    What kind of thermometers are you using? How accurate are they? I'd rather not use an Acurite. I've had 4 and they were all different from each other.....

    I am using a thermal gun a calibrating the thermometers with that I never trust on thermometer either I always double check them against something else.

    That came out really good. How many tubs can you fit in there?
