I have posted on other sites no help I want to make a seed propagation chamber/tabacco kiln would a water heater element hooked to water heater thermostat work for heating chamber and grow lights will be installed also and then kiln idea takes more planning thinking vaporizer with humidty switch. I will have removeable trays for seeds and racks for tobacco any ideas. size is going to be 3' x 3' x 8' and well isulated and sealed with weater striping and the closers you use for like a case and air venting and circulation still in planning stage probably small ducts with internal fans what do you think please reply

most water heating elements burn out if not in a liquid. you can google do it yourself incubators and get lots of ideas on propogator designs.

A light bulb, thermostat, and an reflective insulated enclosed space like a cooler works excellent.
