Some people place their t-stat probe on the heat tape and adjust accordingly until their egg tub reaches desired temps. (same principal as rack setup)

Some people place their t-stat probe in the egg box, careful with that as toward the end of incubation eggs generate heat, which would make the t-stat run the temps cooler for the other tubs. (not by much but still)

I place my t-stat in a dummy tub, it is set like an egg box but does not have eggs in it, I tape both thermometer and t-stat probe on the lid of the tub.

I take temps measurement in two places at all time but also use a temp gun if checking clutches.

Very impressive build Deborah. Gotta expand my incubator capacity next year when the bulk of my females are of age. Itake it from the photo that you don't use a separate controller for each compartment right?
