I have this one linked below you can set the turn on and shut off temperatures so what I'll do in the summer is I'll swap them and I'll say turn on the power for my fans when it gets above 70° and turn it off when it gets below 69°. Right now I can set both on and off so I set on for 32 degrees and off for 33 degrees
Yes!! when I was in my 20s I just bought the cheapest extension cord i could find for stuff and had no idea how much danger I was in constantly
I'm in the same boat as you fire safety is huge for me because it's one of my biggest sources of anxiety when I tell you I now have the most expensive lowest gauge highest wattage and amperage extension cords I can find 
worth every penny to me makes me sleep easier at night haha
Ours are for the fish tank heaters in waterers outside in the growout pens. The cheapy ones heat to 78°F and can't be set lower. They're very low wattage, (25) but still!
That looks easy to use, can you tell me how long you've used it? I get tired of buying things that stop working after a few weeks. And would you recommend it to our OP if they decide to go for the heat in the coop. ( just realized I was being rude and butting in on OPs thread for a personal question, so had to add that last line. Lol. Truly sorry OP. I'll be good now)
Nice, but whoa, pricey. We've got an Inkbird that I think is similar in our brooders. The bulb is a 100W black ceramic.
I've had it for a little over 6 months it really is just set it and forget it you flip a little switch under the knobs to "set", you decide on your temperatures by turning the knobs and then you switch the little switch back to "lock" and it locks in your settings and I hang it on a nail inside my garage and then I just throw the temperature probe which is on a very long wire (which I appreciate) out the garage window so that it gets the outside temperatures not the inside the garage temperature since my garage is very sturdly built with very thick wood it's a little warmer in my garage than outside. And then you just plug the temperature controller into your outlet and then whatever you were going to plug into the outlet into the temperature controller . So I've only had it 6 months but I have had absolutely zero issues with it and it has worked perfectly from the second I took it out of the box, for 40 bucks it was super worth it to me. I can absolutely report back at the end of the winter on if it's still working well but I don't see why it would stop working.
They do have an auto shut off on the Cozy Coupes as well but I think it's pretty high because I've never actually seen it shut off on its own but I've only had
For me 30 bucks doesn't seem that bad but I can also understand that that's not something that someone else would feel comfortable spending. For me I was just comparing volume and content of reviews on Amazon and trying to find one that I liked and felt really simple and long lasting so I was drawn in by the knobs and the digital display and the high amount of reviews and I'm chronically bad at overspending on these darn chickens LOL
Didn’t mean to imply that you were doing anything wrong but that it requires thought and being informed to avoid the pitfalls. So many of us are coping with extension cords and making a mistake is as easy as falling off a log. A 1500 watt load will definitely cost you over a period of a month or two. Depending on where you live, it could put you paying the highest rates for the rest of the power you use to live. I have low power bills in general because I practice reducing electrical use for heat loads, something that I learned by designing RV electrical systems.
I didn't take it that way, I appreciated the concern. My thanks was genuine. My electric (whole house is electric) usually only runs a little over 100 for the coldest months. Granted, the solar equipment on the roof helps to keep it low, and probably the fact I enjoy keeping a roaring fire going in the fireplace. Wonder how low that bill would be if I didn't heat my coop?
