What do you mean. Why wouldn't it work? Same function although that one may have additional settings.

As far as safety features, the one pictured has a tip over feature easily overcome with some duct tape so it remains on.

I bought the 18 metal window screens for my house, 29x29 and 29x54 (a nice fit for the dimensions of the original posters closet) for $180 +tax USD.
I use metal screen for drying oats and initial fan drying of harvested fruit. Works great
It is what it is

You mean the Inkbird? It would work, it's just I only have one now, and it's going to be used for a 55 gallon drum sterilizer. I'm in the middle of building a sterilizer, pasteurizer, and dehydrator, but the sterilizer has priority now.

Racks made of 1x2 cheapo wood lined with metal window screen (comes on a roll) with a space heater and a small fan...
6 tier drying racks available at hydroponic stores work well and can be moved around.
It's all about the space heater and fan.

I know the basics. I was just hoping for advice on specific hardware because I've never done anything this big before, I wasn't sure a space heater would perform well or not auto-shutoff in an enclosed space, and I don't own this property, so I really can't afford to fuck up. I'm working on building the racks from a simple wood frame. I just needed advice on an appropriate heating/fan combo for these conditions.
