>>I built a new incubator for this season. I lost a very important clutch last year and suspect temp fluctuations was the cause. I double insulated with sheet insulation and it should hold 14 clutches with extra room. I was hoping to get opinions on the location of the heat source. Last year I ran it down the back and believe the rear of the egg containers close to the heat tape was slightly warmer. I was considering putting the heat tape on the very bottom with the fan located in the very top blowing down since heat rises. The incubator is 24in wide 24 in deep and 48 in tall. I will post pics soon!

That's how i have mine set...Fan blowing down in the front..I also have a fan at the bottom to blow over the heat towards the back.Then the heat just rises up the back of it.
