OK, so i ran it for a couple of nights with no problems, I even have a high low gauge. Last night, it went down 2 degrees in the middle of the incubator. It probably went down to 30 degrees outside. Remember I have it in an unheated barn, but in an insulated room without heat.

Should I get another element and hook it up as well? there is another set of electric, I don't know what you call them, procelain holders? That I could wind a 2nd heating element around. Someone suggested I would get better heat control with 2.

Any suggestions?

Update...I put some thick fleece horse saddle blankets on the top. Then, it went up to 102, so I lowered it a little at a time, turned off the inside light, and it seems to be holding around 100 now. Mine seems to not have any insulation in the top, so maybe the heat was escaping through it.

Anyways, so far so good.

If you had the opportunity to buy a Farm Master (approximately 100 egg capacity), would it be worth looking at if the price was right?

Nice looking unit and not far from me but I think a little high on the price.

Is is a wood cabinet?? I have not seen any that small. But IMO yes any of the old ones are worth a look.
