Me either. With the cooler weather upon us I have returned to thinking
about building my thermostatically controlled proofing chamber, but more

Howdy,
If you need help with this, please post again. There are a number of
techniques that are easy, and inexpensive.
Easy and inexpensive sounds good to me! I have the following parts on
hand:
- A clear plastic storage bin for main enclosure
- 12 volt DC power supply ( AC wall adapter )
- standard round Honeywell mechanical home thermostat
- 12 volt computer fan for circulation
- 110 VAC lamp fixture for heating element
I think all I need now is an appropriate relay with 12 VDC coil which
should be available cheaply at RxxxxShack, and some sort of small
enclosure for the "guts".
I have already seen discussions in earlier threads about Samartha's fish
tank heater, Dick's modified coffee pot thermostat, and your own
modified refrigerator. Good solutions all! More ideas are certainly
welcome.
