and I noticed that it does have a safety feature where it would shut off if it hits 110 degrees.
That makes me wonder, how high would the Herpstat go before shutting off?
Those are really low end. They have a big reputation for failing and not having a digital readout they are hard to keep dialed in. What are you going to do when it fails at night on a holiday weekend with a cold front moving in? Stick with one suggested above, or another of what you have. Its not worth taking the chance by using a cheap one.
Also depending on what you are keeping 110 is definitely enough to hurt or kill.
