Thanks man, I think I was leaning toward that method so will do some more reading/watching.

Thanks for the links. Quickly discovered those and will likely use the water bath idea. Thanks for taking the time to help acheers.

I've heard someone else using an aquarium heater elsewhere. Here come several more youtube searches :) Sounds like the man cave can get an upgrade then as this is the most stable place. Thanks.

Well I have two main places. 1) "man cave" which is always in the shade and whilst an internal room has no heating and remains pretty cool. This time of year I would think the temperature pretty stable but would get very cold in winter. 2) lean-to which is almost a small utility...
