Control for storage chest

(1/1)

salty:
I'm looking  for ideas on a control for a decommissioned chest freezer that I use outdoors to store apples in over the winter. For most of the winter our climate is perfect for storing apples  outdoors with temperatures in the mid thirties to low forties ( F ). However we do have spells of freezing weather. During these periods it would be nice to have a control that turned a light bulb on in the chest to prevent freezing. Kind of the opposite of what the freezer control does. Like a furnace control but low temperature and higher voltage.

electrondady1:
perhaps a household thermostat with a light wired up instead of the compressor.

I've used these on a couple of projects... They can be set to turn on when the temperature rises to a set value, or falls to a set value. The Delta-temp can also be set...

... if China-made are ok, that is... ;)

salty:
Perfect ! " just what the doctor ordered "

OperaHouse:
Great find. an upgrade of the W1209 board I'd get for $3 shipped. I always wondered why they never put the display and buttons on the other side.  Too bad I still have a half dozen I haven't used yet.  I have one that can't remember settings.
