I use this beer cooler for incubating chondro eggs. The heating is just heat mats on the bottom and sides, wired to a dimmer stat. The temperature in the egg boxes doesn't move by more than one tenth of a degree C, unless you open the door.
Cheers

Apparently acts as a heat sink of sorts - the water in the bottles is the same temperature as the incubator and when you open and then close the door, the incubator temperature restores quicker than it would without them. That's the theory, sounds good, but I don't know for sure if it makes any difference!
