Meeepbeep, I don't care to argue or agree with you.... There is a valid point in your words but that all reverts back to "Building Codes" and "money" and most folks don't apply much of either one to a chicken coop. Therefore, the "risk" is above that "mitigate risk" of cooking and heating a...

Well ggeorgas, yes! Their are other ways of heating without giving light. There are tube resistors, pad heaters and even ceramic bulbs that do not give off light. (Although I have never seen one of those bulbs in use) I used to be a field supervisor in the poultry industry and currently I work...

Thanks all....nice to be greeted!

Hey all Just wanted to say hello and make myself known. We live outside of Palmer so if you live in AK give me a hello and especially if you live in my area. Thanks

Hello all, I am new to BYC and I just wanted to say hello. I am interested in learning from those willing to teach and look forward to getting to know those willing to visit a little about a small flock. I have experience in large commercial broiler operations and also raising fighting Game...

Yes we are about 70 miles NE of Anchorage. Our winters aren't too bad, but we do have cold snaps. We used to live above the circle and I was amazed at the ravens. We regularly had temps -20 to -40 F for weeks and they still kept right on going. I've watched them pick up fish guts and fly at...

I appreciate the concern but I assure you that I do not do "dodgy" electrical work. And it seems that what I am calling as resistor is the same as your "tube heater". Where we live the electrical supply can be unreliable so I am really only wanting to produce enough heat to clear the air. I...

Resistors are safer than bulbs. At least from my stand point. They don't burn out or explode. Also, many different wattages to choose from and even variable resistors ......1watt being equal to 3.14 BTU. I have seen them used in well houses to keep stuff from freezing up.

Watts = Volt x Amps A dimmer reduces the volts and in doing so reduces your watts which reduces your BTUs. Giving less heat.... I am going to mount a resistor in mine so I can heat it without light.
