We ordered a sweeter heater 4 years ago..it still works great! We even ordered a second one last year so we could raise two different batches of chicks. They make a overhead version and a side mount.

I've always used the k&h brooder plates. They work great and haven't had a problem.

We used the Producer's Pride brooder plate(not made in US) inside the house twice. The third time I tried to use it, it was dead
This year I am trying out a diy brooder plate https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/pseudo-brooder-heater-plate.67729/
with a Sunbeam heating pad(also not made in US) from Walmart. Chicks are 4 weeks old and it is working so far.
