Tim, I imagine if your rubbermaids are 33"x16"x6", then the dummy rubbermaid with the probe must be the same size to be accurate.
thanks, Paul.

It seems that I am getting some temp fluctuations. I put the probe in a dummy container as suggested by Tim. Now it seems that when I set my thermostat at 93, I get an enclosure temp of high 90-low 100's. If I lower the thermostat to 90, the temps go down too much.

Why would it not be better to place the probe dirrectly on the heat tape. To me, it seems that that may be a more accurate way of regulating the temps.

Because you want to know the temperature INSIDE the bin, not BESIDE the bin.

Yes I know, but it is easy to adjust the temp either way to acheive the desired temp range.
