Mama Heating Pad in the Brooder (Picture Heavy) - UPDATE

Um, well, it was neatly folded in its original box (which NEVER happens around here) and out in my sewing camper in the closet that holds fabric bolts. Dunno, don't wanna know.

I usually end up buying a replacement and saying "this time I'm putting this where I'll know where it is" only to find the original in the place I don't think I'll forget.

Variation on theme but I purchased this from a local auction. It is a food warmer from a closed restaurant. it measures 24 x 24 inches. The white thing is just a fiberglass base. Temp can go from 80 degrees (and up to 200

so will need to take care not to have roast chickies).

Thinking of how to use it - either like a heater top as in Blooie's post (kinda) or as a heated base. It is VERY HEAVY, and that is why I am considering having it on the ground, or on a very sturdy support. Either way the temp needs to be limited so that there is no chance of fire.

HI Phage..... I can help you with structural support. if you want For what its worth you wont need 80 degrees for long. Especially here. That would be an awesome element for an incubator build as well.

I also had instant sewing camper envy.

Yep, sewing camper. I am a avid quilter, and in this house there was no room for my sewing, especially after we got custody of grandkids Jamie and Little Diane. A friend had a big travel trailer that they used to use for the guys who used to come up and work the beet fields in summer, but they had stopped raising beets so the camper was sitting empty at the edge of a field. She asked me if I wanted it, and then she and her husband hooked it up to their pickup and brought it over.

What a mess! Full of mice...mice and nests and mouse skeletons, spiders......ugh! I even got Hanta Virus from cleaning it! But after it was done, it became my sanctuary! I used 1/4 inch hardware cloth to prevent more mousies, with fine screening over that against crawly things. Ken hardwired power out there, so it's on its own circuit.
