    If you use the search function on the blue line above here, you will find lots of detailed plans for making incubators with bread boxes, potato boxes or even ice chests. These have all been tested by the folks who have made them and they work great. Good luck with your project. Suz

    Here s one I made from a 48 qt cooler

    It uses a water heater thermostat, light fixture for heat, and a computer fan to circulate air.
