Quote: What type of thermostat are you using? If it is the water heater type move it as close to the bulb or heat source as you can get it. This will cause the stat to cycle more and on shorter time spans. My span is never more than 2 degrees, most times just 1 degree.

Quote: From what I understand the halfway up theory is only for still air incubators, but it doesn't hurt to be safe.

none taken. Please stop with the *my thermometer is bigger than your thermometer* stuff tho, it doesn't help. I am trying to help you focus on what is important here. In the end tho, you have to do what you think is best. FWIW, I think you are misleading yourself a bit, but time will show you...

You will probably need to seal the egg shell as it will probably evaporate water just like a real egg. I liked the idea of using modeling clay in the shape of an egg and will try that on my next set. BTW come Easter you should be able to find a plastic egg...

Quote: There is a problem with water wiggler, water when heated converts heat to energy by expansion. This is why pressure is needed to reach high enough temps to sterilize. I found that the wiggler's temps were lower than the actual temps. And I tested this with a lab thermometer. I use a...

Quote: The air temp in an incubator fluctuates too much to use a digital quite like that. That is why we use water wigglers. With the probe inside a wiggler, you are getting a stable reading very close to the inside of an egg. Unless, of course, you use a proportional temp. controller, in...

Calibrate your readings with a oral medical thermometer they are accurate to within .1 I believe which you will never get a constant in any incubator, unless you want to buy a lab forensic incubator. The *&#$ that comes with the still air I believe reads 2 degrees lower because it is designed to...
