    Soon to be incubator?

    I'm working on making this a 2 clutch incubator. What size heat tape would you recommend?
    I've never done this before but I picked the cooler up for free. Just got done removing all the components.

    What are the measurements of it? Length x width x height. That's how I figured out which heat tape I should use I had to measure it first.

    What's the measurements on ,6qt tub. They fit dead perfect. My problem is the back has a grate and fan on it. (Witch I plan on using) so no back mounted tape. Has to be sides/ bottom. And idk how much to order blah blah blah.

    Well whatever the measurements are on the inside of the incubator measure the inner sides and depth. There's 3in, 4in, 6in, 11in, and 12in heat tape so if the depth of incubator is a foot then get the 11in or 12in heat tape depending on the wattage. And if it's a foot or 2 high get the length that fits, and gives you the best wattage. I really hope this is helpful because I just built my incubator out of a wine cooler as well and this is what I did. So maybe some other members will chime in and give you even more advice.
