I KNOW there has to be a better way.

I like plug and play. It isn't so much laziness, but we work a lot of hours, so its nice to have the comfort of knowing its going to be the same temp when we get home from work. Today I ran to Wal-Mart and to pick up my wife from work. Gone maybe an hour. Temps were 83.1 in our Hova-Bator when I left. When we returned it was 80.6 degrees. Unacceptable!
It is definitely laziness for me

If you can get it to stabilize, you are on the right track I hear water bottles in the bottom to keep temp nice and steady...

Yikes, I would make one right away. And send me a mini fridge
