I have also recently invested in a new proofing chamber comprised of a heat mat and regulator in a box. Gone are the days of having to constantly manage the temperature by adjusting the door of my airing cupboard!
Before this years ago I did use an aquarium heater but that eventually packed up on me with a coil burning bright flash!
Do you need this thing when the weather warm up? My kitchen had been in the 70-degree F all winter (since Nov) and two days ago it jumped to 77-degree F which threw me off track immediately with something seemingly wrong with my dough, which I did not realize until later on. Now I will need to readjust the hydrations of my recipes until the next weather cycle come.
Right, I think if the weather is warm, there is some point at which the balance of LM would be too difficult to maintain. It might be necessary to use a cooling chamber or air conditioning.
I also need a wine cooler for overnight refreshes of my LM. This little incubator is only good for warming small amounts of LM to do the daytime refreshes.
Nice one Sue and very original!

I need something for storing the LM at 16C - does this go down to that temp? Any ideas?
