Thanks! Good to know, although I see a dog and not a spooked chicken in the picture . I fear a wet chicken in sub zero temperatures would be disastrous. My opinion. Not that the water bowl wouldn't work, it's just not for me. I envision an accident I choose to avoid because I can.

The instructions that readily available are quite clear. Many tho have expressed a fear in assembly, and we all should realize our individual comfort levels and abilities. That said, there are no posts stating catastrophic failures or warnings from using any homemade cookie tin that I can...

As a point for reference, the surface of a 60 watt incandescent bulb will reach about 250F at 70F ambient. The filament will be dangerously hot, but will burn out instantly once exposed to oxygen. The fixture (cookie tin) will be much, much, cooler. Cellulose (wood, paper, etc.) requires...

My really inexpensive homemade modified cookie tin heater using a 38 watt bulb sits surrounded by shavings. It however does not even get hot to touch. Personally tested to -9F, and worked as designed. Just how hot does your expensive heater get???
