Paint can heater, google it. Its a light bulb of your wattage choice mounted inside an aluminum paint can. Simple build. I've been using one in my ferm chamber for a long time and it works great, nice and gentle heat.

+1.
This coupled with a stc-1000 makes for great temperature control at a cheap price.
Use a 60 watt bulb, works great. A 100 watt bulb gets the paint can way too hot.

+2 my exact setup and it works like a champ in an outdoor, uninsulated storage shed. |

For less than $20, why kludge a light bulb inside a paint can?

I bought this as well. For $17 shipped (prime ftw) and comes with a fan. It works perfectly in my ferm chamber.
