Boy you hit the nail on the head with bi metal thermos. As soon as I put a wafer thermo in my troubles seemed to be over. You can't beat the wafer stats. Nice micro adjustments too.

Very interesting!!! Thanks for the info, I may have to try it in one of several old cooler bators I have.I don't know if anyone else on this forum has tried this yet, but I set up my home made bator utilizing the thermostat portion of a fish tank heater. The thermostat for the fish tank heater is inside the glass tube, so even if the fish tank water is 75-85 deg. the air inside the tube is much warmer, so the thermostat operates accurately around the 100 deg point.
The temp does drop quickley when the door gets opened, and I noticed it's time to refill the water to bring the humidity back up.
When operating in steady state conditions, the aquarium heater thermostat does work great.
