a banner add caught my eye and led me to the above a 12v dc fan with a built in 100w heating element intended for heating an incubator for less than a tenner!!
ok a 100w 12v dc power supply is a bit bigger than the usual £shop phone charger plug used for a fridge fan, but iirc thats less than 5A or 5000ma so most established households with a modicum of cluter should have something suitable somewhere and the heater is wired separately from the fan..
anyway thought it worth sharing at least.. kills 2 birds with a reasonably priced stone perhaps?

Nice, that looks pretty handy.
I was thinking how would you get it to work with an inkbird controller, but I realised I'm being silly, you'd just plug the 12VDC adapter into the inkbird.

Nice find, but 100/12 = 8.33A, fairly hefty adaptor required!Fil wrote:
