Trying to find the link to wire the water heather thermostat. Only has 2 places for wires so it's what a single pole?

Yes, it is a single pole. Depending on the cord running to your brooder you only need to wires. One to each terminal of the thermostat. If you are using a piece of cord that has three wires one is a ground. Depending on the wire if it is three one might be bare copper.

If you are using what they call zip wire like used for lamps or extension cords for lights etc it only has two wires. That is all you need to control your light in your brooder.

Okay ran 1 110 wire to the T stat and then 1 from the T-stat to the light and the other from the plug/outlet to the light.
