I'm using a 38w Light bulb with a water heater thermostat and a Computer fan for ventilation. I didn't do the water heater thermostat mod. I probably should at some point. I'm not too worried at this point the incubator stays between 99 and 102 and my first eggs are still growing at 13 days. I will only change things up if I have problems with this big hatch..I'm still learning so I realize that some trial and error is to be expected.aww, so sorry.![]()
I had a near crisis, have my meat therm set to alarm at 102 so I can avert higher spike and after some dental work I went to sleep. Woke up and looked at therm and it was at 102.5 and risingso here i run with the fan and open the vents on the bator as the the little red light indicating that it is heating is burning away!!! Finally we are steady at 101. It's not that hot today, overcast and kinda humid, not sure what caused that. Next time I do this I am buying or building an incubator. What do you folks use for a heat source?![]()
