I just converted a coleman cooler into an incubator. I used heat cable, but heat tape would work just as well. I set this up on a thermostat to keep the temps in the desired range (84-85F is what i used). I put the eggs in vermiculate which is mixed 1:1 with water by weight.

Inside the incubator I used a wide tray with water to keep the incubator humid. The eggs and incubation medium were in a deli dish with lid, with a few holes punched in to allow air flow. I set up a shelf about middle of the cooler which I placed the deli dish on.
