That sounds fine just make sure it doesn't get too hot and that you put it to one side not the middle. You can get a rheostat to regulate the temp.

Okay that's fine, all emails are welcome. The cooler side should be around 10*F cooler than the warm side. It's best to have the warm side at around 90*F so 80*F for the cooler side would be efficient.
