>Does anyone know where I can get a thermostat to build a heat box? Ideally, I would like to get one I could plug a small electric heater into and have it control power to it. But, if anyone else has better ideas, I'm open to them. Thoughts?? >Dean Cooper ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
What heat range are you looking for and what is the application? 50 F through 90F you could use a standard home thermostat ($10) that is used to switch baseboard heaters. They are a simple on/off contact and are mounted in a standard electrical switch box. Beyond that I don't know. Maybe a mercury switch on a bi-metal strip from another thermostat could be used to control a relay and that control the heater if you need something higher. Alter the assembly to work in the heat range you need, i.e., mount it at an angle, bend something, etc. :-) :-) Larry Flesner
