Hi all,
Just wanted to post a pic of two incubators that Phil (retic) has made me. They are terrific units, and hold many egg containers.
The units have a couple strips of heat tape below it, along with a fan that helps with air circulation, eliminating "hot" spots.

Phil made many of my units on site as well as my racks, so he is extremely flexible on where he builds it, some others were built at his house.

I'd very highly recommend him, he's honest, reliable, and a great worker, fast too :)

Thanks Phil, greatly appreciated buddy! :)

I hope it's not 100% humidity because the botton seem pegboard
and those are made of Masonite (Carton/High density paper/dunno the damn word lol) and would mold and/or get soft

If those are 100% plastic than WHERE DID YOU GOT THEM lol

Thanks Mark :)

Icefire: The peg boards can be found at Home Depot.
I've had 95% hatchling rate in there thus far, works great, no probs with the humidity. :)

Icefire, they are not a wood product, they're a plastic sheet that you'll see as shades in most office flourescent lights. They work great.

Well they dont look like plastic sheet for flourescent light because I use them and are square.
those look like Peg board (masonite) it's 1/4 inch holes every 1 inch right? it's brown with one side white?

but if you only heat it and the unit ITSELF isn't at 90-100% humidity, it would be okay, I was fearing the botton would mold and get soft.

Icefire, I use them. They are not a paper product. THEY ARE PLASTIC. IF Phil (Retic) built it ( AND HE DID) it is a plastic sheet. He built my incubator also. Listen.
