Homemade incubator, thermostat questions

[JenniferJoIN]

I've been getting supplies ready for my incubator, but I can't find a water heater thermostat for 110V outlets.

Where did you guys get yours and how much was it?

I bought mine from lowes it ran around $9.

And it was for a 110V power supply?

We were at Lowes yesterday and didn't see any for less than $12.00, but there were slim pickins.

My lowes had two boxes one for the lower element which I believe it the one you want and then they had the upper element which is a higher wattage.
So the lower one is the one you want I ask the guy to make sure. I took a picture too with me that Missprissy had posted in her post.

It's the one that sells for less than $10. Someone posted recently the picture and the sku from Lowes...if you do a search on thermostat and lowes you should get a hit.

It figures that I missed that post!

I will do a quick scan and see if I can turn something up.

Thanks arlee and Poison!

Is there any possibility of posting all of your components after successfully getting your incubator up? I am debating whether to start with eggs or wait until Spring when the feed stores are stocked with chicks.

thanks!

If you do a search and type in Chick chick bator, Missprissy you will see the list of items you need and a piture format of how to put it all together.

Here's the link I went ahead and did the search.
