I have a small (24 eggs) and a medium (75 eggs) made out of styrofoam coolers. I just added a thermostat to one today.

I was bidding on the medical dryer because it was local. I didn't want to pay as much as the bid went upto. It's like a metal cabinet oven but goes very low. It's for drying medical equipment. It aready has a fan & thermostat but there's no window. I could move the eggs the last three days.

How do you make your foam cooler incubators? I have one with a light attached to a dimmer switch. My other larger one has a digital thermostat attached to a light bulb & computer fan. I think it's going to work even better than the Little Giant I bought at Tractor Supply. It costs about the same to make as the other to buy but it holds more and works better.

i have a light atatched to a dimmer switch as well. i like it better than the hovabator. it holds temp and humidity level perfectly.

Think those are for sterilizing medical instruments.
