where did you position the probe? the tip should be right against the flexwatt. Or are you using a different heat source?

right on, and do you have a fan in it to circulate the air?

The pics are simple to post. Create an account on photobucket.com, upload your pics there. Under each pic you've uploaded there's 3 or 4 codes, you want to highlight and copy the img one, and paste it here, that also works on most other forums.

ok,, lets try .
     yes there is a fan in it. im using the origional fan that was in it, then i put the flexwatt on the back wall, then, i made a false wall on the top and the back (fans on top, moreless just duct work on top and back).  i cut 1/4" X 12" slits in the false wall at every rack. soooo the heat blows from the back, across the racks,, and up in the fan. then does it again.

its been a few hours sence i taped the probe to the flexwatt, and its reading 93.6*f, and i have it set on 88.3*f.  maby my incubator is too efficient. i shouldent need to adjust the thermostat lower to get the desired temp should i ????
 thanks

well if its holding steady at 93.6  and you have it set at 88.3. and its holding steady.  I would try dropping it 5.3 degrees and see if it holds steady where you want it.

Does the little light say it's heating? Or is it just holding heat that well? How are you measuring the temps?
