    Will post pics shortly.

    But I couldn't wait to tell :)

    I was driving down the road by my frieds house and saw one of thoes stand up coke coolers with the Glass doors on the front sitting at the curb, we grabed my truck and came back and asked them what was up with it. They were going to donate it to salvation army, so I asked if I could have it and they gave it to me :).:banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:

    It took me about 2 hours to gut the compressor and other misc crap that is in there. Now I have to seal the holes, install the heat tape, set up thermostat, and then fill it with eggs :snake::snake::snake::snake:.

    Thats a good idea with the wheels. :) I think ill steal it.

    Where are you installing your heat tape? sides or back?

    Are you giong to put a PC fan in there to circulate the air?

    Anytime!!

    I'm running my heat tape down the back and I have two computer fans circulating inside and used an old cell phone charger to run them.
    My coca cola incubator looks different from the pic's I post.
    When I get my Herpstat I'll post new pic's of it.

    Good luck with yours and post pic when you are done.
