makes as much sense as wiping before you poop? or am I missing something here?
Yeah, youre missing the part that says "AS NEEDED".

explain to me when you would NEED to both heat AND cool at the same time?

That's exactly what I did. I used a quart sized paint can and had to cut off a lot of the plastic lamp assembly (I didn't use the pancake box either). It's a really tight fit, and the lid doesn't go on all the way, but it heats really well!

I am not positive, but I have seen an EE error when my temperature probe was not attached. Is it possible that your temperature probe got disconnected or damaged in some way?

For heat, I use the top of my dehydrator that I use to make jerky. It's the cheap round dehydrator. It basically circulates warm air around my freezer to kick the temp up when needed.

if anyone ordered the wrong controller (220 V) I have 4 extra replacement transformers that can be soldered in....just pay my cost plus shipping and i'll send them right out
I'm looking to get my hands on one (or two if available) transformers to turn 220V units into 110V. Please PM me if you have any leftover.
Some hair dryers can pull a lot of amps, and aren't really meant for continuous use although if set on low you probably wont have a problem, I have melted a hairdryer using it for an extended time on high. I use a small electric heater set on low (750 watts) works great.I just picked up an old appartment fridge the other day for $25.
I just put the aquarium controller on order, and now I'm wondering if it carry enough amperage to run a fridge. The surge current from turning the fridge on and off all the time could be a killer.
For heat I am just going to use a hair dryer.
I also have a muffin fan from a computer I'll use to keep the air inside moving to assure an even temperature.
They are up to min 20 now. I emailed them to see if I could just get 2 or 3.Believe it or not i paid $18 free shipping from china back in Dec 20th. 3 weeks later, I was on my door.
FYI: store change to MIN 14 now... So I got lucky

Ok guys, just so I understand. I can use this on a refrigerator on my deck all year. Living in Vermont it can be a little cold in the winter, soda and stuff freezes in this fridge, but daytime times can climb to kick the refer on. Would I be able to use one of these just to maintain temp inside the fridge?
This means I would be using it for heating and cooling.
Let the refer run normal and add a lamp or heater inside for heat.
