Hido ho,
I have recently bought a micro climate b2 thermostat, and have it set up with my esky incubator (without eggs - these are due soon) just to get it all sorted out and working properly. The prob. is for me to get the temp. upto 30 degrees C i have to set the stat to nearly 35C. To me this doesn't sound right. I have a glass thermometre in the esky and an indoor/outdoor thermometre running aswell- which are both reading the same. Once the desired temp. is achieved, it does hold it fairly steadily with only plus/minus 0.1-0.2 degrees the difference.
Could it be that the stat is faulty? or could it be that my heat source just isn't powerful enough? I am using a 4m (15W) heat cord to heat the esky, which has internal dimensions of approx. 40x20x30.
