Oodles of it!, I live in a gorgeous town that is why i have never left :)
I love my cute little town
My Grandmothers younger brother lived in Hampton Beach and had a hot dog cart - Bucky's Hot Dogs! We lost him a few years ago, but we still visit his wife every time we go back.

I haven't spent too much time in the middle of the state....just the coast.
 
Hi all!
I made Sally Sunshine's DIY cabinet incubator back in the late winter, and have been running it steady ever since.
It's worked great, up until recently when we started to have temps in the 80s. We don't have AC, just run fans when
necessary.
The thermostat is a ST-1000 with a probe for what regulates the temperature.
So It overheated to 42*C & 44*C (according to the thermostat) - and it was set for 37.5 originally, then I lowered it to 37.0.
Even though the light bulbs (heat source) rarely turn on, it's seemingly holding them temperature of the eggs & then it starts to climb.
I moved the thermostat probe closer to the lights & kept the door ajar, and it's seeming to help. But, the temperature is more un-even
throughout the incubator b/c of this.
Any suggestions?

The larger one on the right is the one in question.


Since the photo, I've changed out the fans for bigger ones & they've
helped. But, that was months ago.

Also, all 3 turners had eggs in them when
it overheated. Most of the top eggs died, so they're
temporarily empty. Don't want to add more until I
figure out how to fix the overheating.
