Homemade Proofing Box
Okay, with the weather changing I decided I needed a proofing box. I do woodworking so for me it wasn't too complicated, but I did a simple box with a 3/4" plywood base and 1x2" corners, a 1/2" plywood top and 1/4" plywood backing. Lined with foil bubble insulation. Installed a 25 watt candelabra bulb unit at the top and a small aquarium fan inside for circulation. The door is 3/8" wood with clear vinyl stapled to it and is held closed with Velcro. I ran the light on all day long and the top was 82 degrees, the mid section 80 and the bottom 78. So that's when I decided to add the fan which I already had. Now the temp reads 80 at all levels.
