Howdy, guys! I recently acquired a broken mini fridge from a kind person on Craigslist...

However, within the past 24 hours, I noticed an issue: My brother's husky chewed the cord!

Anyways, my questions are...

1.) Does the cord matter at all? It's attached to the fridge.
2.) What is a good website for a fan? Where do I attach it and how?
3.) What size flexwatt would I need?
4.) Do I leave the black thing attached? Is this the pollutant stuff that needs to be professionally removed if so?
5.) What's a good thermostat for incubators? I have a Herpstat 2, but I plan to use the other output for another rack.

I tried to read up on fridge incubators on here but I noticed a lot of these posts have unavailable photos, so it kind of makes it hard for someone who isn't handy with making things to begin with.

I'm not in any rush to use this incubator, I won't be breeding for another year or two, but I'd like to be as ready as possible for that moment.
