What was the room temp around? Sounds like something very similar to what I could do

A small space like a closet is a far better option over the rack with an self heating method. It can be done but it isn't easy I have done it but based on my experiences I would not recommend it at all.

So you didn't use any sort of space heater or anything? This might be what I should do.. When I build it, before I go crazy I'll try the closet and see. Seems like a solid idea.

How about using dual side radiant heat like animal plastics? I don't know why those aren't more popular.
