Put the cord on the floor and sides so you have heat surrounding the egg containers with no cold spots(since you wont be using a fan)

A 25 watt heat cord will do nidely.

If your board I'd buy a foam box and use that as the incubator. Then fill the esky with beer and watch the temps go up and down as you get blotto.
