DIY CABINET COOLER INCUBATOR How we did it and TEST RUN Ready Set GO!

[Sally Sunshine]

Confession time, due to budget constraints, I didn't precisely follow these directions. I have built an incubator, but I'm having issues with keeping temps from the front to the back. There's a temp difference of 3 degrees, any suggestions how to fix this?

so I take it the heat is sticking to the back? where are the fans? can you show us more details? perhaps we can help.

I did some more testing, and the temp actually held better throughout without the fan. Right now it holds at between 99-100. Is this an acceptable difference and is there a reason to have the fan other than to even the temperature? My thermostat has a differential of only a degree, so I'm not seeing much in the way of swings over time.

I really want to try this, great idea!

Has anyone used these incubators for lockdown fairly regularly? If so, have you had any issues with moulding on the wooden parts in the high humidity?

My old GQF 1202 is a wooden incubator. I have never had any problems with mold growing on the wooden parts.
