Heat box question

<< < (2/2)

ricktrojanowski:
I wouldn't lose any sleep over regular bulbs being banned.  Just in case I'll stock up now while prices are cheap and make a killing on all who own hotboxes and don't have any bulbs.  I can see it now..... A matched pair of copperhead skins for 3 60W bulbs.  Man I can't wait for 2012 ;D

I know that this is an old thread but to answer pat's question and lighten everyone else's fears you will still be able to buy the heat lamps that are used for pets like reptiles. i don't know their specifics but i would have to guess that they are 60w and would probably be more energy efficient than incandescents seeing as how they are actually designed to provide heat.

Timo:
 buddy of mine made his with a food dehydrator in the bottom for a heat source and air circulator.

majsnuff:
A "Peet" boot dryer should work. It has the heat source, and the fan. just run a length of dryer hose to your dryer box. Don't know if it would get hot enough for some work, but for drying staves it should work fine.
I have even used black pipe layed out  in the sun. just slip the stave inside and wait. I stuck a low speed solar fan on one end of mine to create some air flow, but I realy don't think the fan is necessary.
