Plugging muliptle heat sources into a single t-stat only works safely if you are using identical heat sources set up with identical enclosures.
I'd be interested to know how differently it really does heat up. I have put different types of flexwatt (Calorique, trex and whatever the other is) on the same tstat and gotten near identical temps. Matt could prob answer this for us. Cmon big guy!
