Hmm, I'm gonna have to redo the heating option in mine as well. I upgraded to a Morebeer conical over the holidays, and managed to score a 15cf upright freezer on Craigslist, and the wee
25 watt heating pad from Williams that I've been using is about as useful as a one legged man in an arse kicking competition. I've got a porter in there at the moment that was initially at 64, and I bumped the temp to 69 to try to get the yeast to finish up, and it took almost 36 hours to raise that five degrees.
Fellow HBTer Ricand found
these heating pads - beefier at 150 watts - but the thing was a monster. This tiny wee pad about 6" square, but on plugging it in, was too hot to touch within 60 seconds. I'd be extremely wary about using it anywhere around anything that might be flammable.
Was thinking about just picking up a small desktop heater at the local hardware store - they're cheap enough,
something like this - but am now gunshy... maybe the reptile heater bulbs would be the best option?
