Welp time to add that onto the shopping cart again. Question: if I get a brooder plate and one day my power gets cut. In the like 5 seconds it takes for our generator to turn on... will the brooder plate turn back on too? Or would I have to turn it on again?
To test this, turn your brooder plate on. Then go to the electric box and turn the electricity for that section off (so if it's in your room, you turn off the breaker for your room). Then turn the breaker back on. Go back and see if the brooder plate is still going.
We've got a generator too and most things keep running - except radio clocks.
If it doesn't turn itself back on, I would be surprised.
