I hear no protests and she didn't run away

Outsource the researching to Overo....


If you had 2 elements in there would they be doing half the work each or will 1 only kick in when the other doesn't work or has died?

I was thinking just hook them both up so ya both coming on and doing half the work but ya both taking the same amount of wear and tear.
In theory that would put out twice the heat so it would click off in less time then with one but if one quit working the other would easily carry the load.
I just don't know if I'm missing something by running two and doubling the wattage output.

Lol. She's doing her first time ever incubating and just between us has already lost her damn mind over it.
I can't add to her stress and break her.

But she's not even incubating Leghorns or even chickens for that matter.....

Is the whole unit surge protected? Would you be better to have separate contol for each element? Have the second one only coming on if the other is struggling or has died

Surge protected? LOL I'm a redneck, of course its not.
Ya it would be better that route but that would mean another thermostat and.......

Just thinking if they are hooked up together and something manages to fry the element, you will be in the same situation cos it will probably fry both at the same time
