Interesting incubator you have there Jas. How long have you been using that "design?"

Here is what I have used for the past 4 years. I dont know why everyone gets worked up over incubation so much? Its simple really..

Thanks Rap..

I like it! Now tell us what you use for incubation substrate?

Oh - and the reason we get worked up about it? Because for me at least, it's my first year, and I have to have SOMETHING to obsess and wring my hands over! LOL

I'm going to use Hatchrite this year - I know Kara and Kevin use it exclusively now - and it seems pretty "idiot-proof" - perfect for me!

Great info, thanks! Is the thermostat on that space heater pretty accurate? What kind of temperature fluctuations do you notice? How's the heat distribution inside the incubator? I am wondering if it is the same, better, or worse than using heat tape with additional fans. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us.
