an old lamp or something.. Gonna think about this some more..

I put a piece of aluminum on top I had to replace the piece of concrete pad
I had on the top it did not transfer heat good my water was still freezing.
so I put the piece of aluminum.and that did the trick.

times this last summer while trying to come up with some sorta idea of what
to build but just now got everything together and I built virtually the
identical warmer that you built. It is just now getting down to freezing
temps at night here in southern Indiana. I presently have a 1″ thick piece
of flat limestone being used for a cap as an insulator between the flu pipe
& the actual watering container but I’m having some issues trying to figure
out the bulb size to use or at least the easiest way to control the
temperature. With a 100W bulb, the limestone cap is barely transferring
heat. With a infrared heat bulb (red glow type) being used inside, the
limestone cap reaches almost 455 degrees when checking it with an infrared
temperature probe device. I may try a regular flood lamp bulb next just to
see how that works. I thought about getting a “thermo-cube” to try too.
