Hey guys,
I just finished (well, pretty much finished) setting up my incubator. Im only expecting 1 clutch this year (fire x cinnamon) so thats why I'm just using a small cooler. I'm pretty sure I'm not forgetting anything but please let me know if you see something missing or if something doesn't look right.
I have one strip of flexwatt on the bottom with light grate on top of it to create a space so the egg tub isn't sitting directly on the flexwatt. I also have a strip of flexwatt on each interior wall of the cooler. I ran all the wires out of the cooler and cut a small notch out of the lid so that even with the wires there it still closed and sealed pretty tightly.

This is just with a 6qt tub in there with the light grate in it too. I should be able to fit a few water bottles in there too:

I plan on getting a herpstat 2 to run it. I still need to get an accurite thermometer too. After talking with nikki and coleslaw, I *think* I'm going to put the probe of the herpstat on the bottom strip of flexwatt and run the probe of the accurite inside the actually egg tub. Does that sound right or is there a better way to setup the thermostat and thermometer probes?
Thanks for reading!
