How to make an inCUEbator

[cueball]

Looks Great!

Thanks Ash

If I hadn't already gotten mine up and going this would have been great for me..

Always for future use though.

You will need many incubators in the near future I bet

That first photo made me laugh..

I was like "oops!"

Wanted to add a thank you for posting tub pics as well.

I had fun with those. The key is finding a tub that is deep enough. Nothing worse than going to close the lid and the tub your made was too shallow(personal experience )

Nice thread but why do you need an incubator?

[Laooda]

That was CUEtastic!!!!
But...
You forgot the pix of you wearing the safety goggles!

on the plexiglass did you use regular wood or metal screws with a point on the end or did you use a screw and nut behind the screw? Also I was confused because you said you used substrateless incubation. Isn't perlite the substrate. And lastly do you not use water bottles on the bottom to help stabilize temperature?

are you going to add a mini fan by any chance.

I did add a mini computer fan in the trial stages. This incubator was too small and the circulation of air(even on a dimmer) was causing the egg boxes to dry faster than I would like. Also it forced all the hot air out of the incubator ever time I opened the door. I think if you had a taller incubator with lots of egg boxes a fan would be key. However with a short incubator and only one or two boxes the tempurature gradient is not much. With the fan it kept an even temp at the lower and upper shelf. Without the fan the temp difference was less than .50 of a degree as measured with a temp gun.

thats a good question. Looks good thanks! also STICKY!!
