Questions about my incubator

[jsmorphs2]

Using the probe inside the egg tub method, if something were to happen, such as opening the lid, of the control egg tub, the t-stat would have to significantly over compensate to get the egg tub temps back to normal once it is closed. As a result, the ambient air temps are going to be higher than normal which may cause other tubs which were not opened to become warmer than you may desire.

Opening the tub lid is equivalent to opening your incubator and since the probe is never removed from the bator with the tub, the temps don't change (apart from having opened the incubator). When I monitor my temps they are the same next to the tub as inside it. Thats why keeping the probe on the shelf next to the tub works the same as keeping the probe in the tub (basically just inches away). Either way works imo.
