Home made cabinet incubator

I read all the post tonight not sure I trust the heating element I used one in a brooder with the same setup it melted the end off the heater can't wait till you get the GQF up and running I would like to know about the heat source . I hope to start my homemade soon and am locked in on space . also will have to build trays and turners. It's to big for LG turners . there will be a incubator top and hatcher bottom .Is the brooder a square bower or the old model .post pictures when you get the chance

The Brower brooder is the rectangular rounded top corner model. Very simple design, denim curtain partitions off 1/3 of the incubator and the heating element is a resistance wire coil just like the GQF incubator. Temp is controlled by a wafer. The original resistance wire was broken and shorted to the case, and the 120v wiring was cloth covered and worn out. I replaced the wiring and resistance wire, cleaned eveything, replaced the wafer and screw, and it's ready to go. I am selling it to offset costs of the GQF, which needed a sizable order of parts to make right. I disassembled the turner motor but rodents chewed up the coil so I couldn't fix it. I'm upgrading to the newest electronic controller and repairing the rest.




I have the droppings pan, it was off for the thermostat test. I may already have a buyer for the brooder.
