    Thermometer/temp CRAZINESS!!

    Quote: Actually .... the temp range of the thermostat is less of an issue, and you still need to know what the average temp is, that is what the eggs will be at. Too large a range is unhelpful, although folk have success with cheap water heater thermostats, and those can have a lrge range...

    Thermometer/temp CRAZINESS!!

    Quote: A water wiggler is one of those cheap toys you find in Dollar Stores. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51bBo7KvNoL._SL500_SS90_.jpg You put a temp probe up the hole through the center.

    Quote: Be wary of assuming that the inaccuracy of an alcohol thermometer is linear. Sometimes it is, oftentimes it isn't. It depends on the quality of the glass tube. Calibrate it at 99.5, and it won't matter what it reads outside a few degrees of this, 'cos we don't need to know I agree...

    Thermometer/temp CRAZINESS!!

    Quote: Sorry ... you got the physics wrong. Water requires pressure to sterilize because water boils at 212F, and that is not high enough a temp. Pressure simply allows water to get hotter than 212F, is all. The water wiggler is very similar to the egg in that it is mostly water, and the...

    Thermometer/temp CRAZINESS!!

    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...
