Personally I use belly heat but that is just the design of the rack I have a good friend uses back heat and has no issues I do run a backup t-stat where my friend does not feel this is necessary as the max temp obtainable is 99ºF I will easily reach 145ºF inside when the flexwatt in uncontrolled (it the t-stat fails) which is why I have a secondary t-stat.
    Thanks! I'll fix that
