I haven't seen a problem not having a big thermal mass for my water heater. The water itself is a thermal mass and heat transferred to it will buffer the temp changes. I use an old cookie sheet on top of my ciookie tin to keep the hens from sliding the waterer off but even at -13 last week the water never froze. The concrete block is a great idea.

I put 4 bricks around the outside of the cookie tin. works great.
That really sounds like a good idea to build bricks around the tin. I could make it large enough for my large waterer and the girls wouldn't knock it off the top of the tin. Thanks for the suggestion.
