It can work. I'd also add several rocks or bottles of water for heat sinks. Some less important improvements, but fairly inexpensive: try and find an old cooler instead of a rubber tub, and see if you can incorporate an old computer fan for air circulation as well as well as this product. I'd also look into wet-bulb humidity monitoring for later in the hatch. Here is a series of articles on incubators, look into some other people's designs and see what works best for you.
