Thank you for this! It absolutely works. I am getting almost zero temperature fluctuation in my home made incubator now! Follow his link and watch the second video. Seems the back of the thermostat needs to have the light bulb shining on it and within around 3-4 inches of the bulb. I may add this to my page with the wiring chart for simpletons like me that didn't get it at first, with full credit to you.

Don't thank me, thank rebelcowboysnb. He has all kind of homemade stuff posted. I'm building a mini fridge bator now and will be using the same method.

My incubator is steady at 100 degree. I am so happy, hopefully it will be like this until I see the little chicks.
Thanks alot for the link above. I moved thermostat closer to the light bulb and it worked.
But then i had to turn the thermalstat very high, close to 125 degree to get 100 degree in the incubator. I don't know if it is suppose to be like that though.

Thanks again
