For now for the thermostat you cod go to ace hardware and get a plug in lamp dimmer. You'll need a digital thermometer too. You can get them at any walmart or like store get an indoor outdoor thermometer. You also may be able to find one that reads humidity as well. I use a few of them in my house. The plug in lamp dimmer isn't perfect but at least the uth won't be full strength. You should get it up and running with the dimmer on it and them adjust until the hotside temps are 92.f and holding steady. Then leave the dimmer where it is. It's not expensive It's lime 10$ and will save you a world of trouble from a burn. Good luck with him!
