Hehe, I have been using my original heatbomb for about 2 years now. 1 Gallon glass pickle jar from my grocery store. I put it in the largest icechest I could find for even heat distribution. It can hold 56 quart jars of wbs and the bomb itself:) So this can be used for bulk. If you need more space, just build a second one, like me.

very clever idea, I think I would use an aluminum "bottle" that a lot of beer companies have come out with recently to increase the thermal transfer.
Would be fun to also see a side-by-side comparison of water versus radiator fluid as well. Although I have no idea what, if any, benefits would be realized there when we're only talking about a 10-15 degree thermal climb.

I made one of these heat-bombs a couple weeks ago. At first, I was really disappointed, it seemed like the jar was no warmer than any of the others and wasn't really benefiting me in any way.
Now that it's friggen cold in here (55 degrees outside and I still have to light my furnace) the heatbomb is very warm and I've gone from regretting the expenses to being overjoyed. It's much warmer in my 70 liter, towel covered incubator than it would be without it. The outside of my jars in the incubator feel about room temperature where the ones outside are quite cold to the touch.
So I guess this post is bumping this idea for those who haven't seen it as the temperatures get colder here in the northern hemisphere.
Thanks to Ohmatic for putting this idea to tek.
PS I used the 50watt heater from walmart, make sure not to buy the one that is the cheapest, it is only 7.5 watts

My foaf just uses a space heater to keep the entire room at 75-80.
Keep the door closed, vents closed, towel outside the door at the bottom, and the space heater hardly ever runs at except at night when it dips to 40.

Just thought that I would bump this as well for any other newbies. This idea is just what I needed as it's starting to get pretty cold here in Australia. Going to make on one the weekend

fire hazard! I'd pick a much large plastic bottle and make sure the plastic has a 5 or above on it!!! Under 5 on plastic is cheap crap. Also don't reuse a plastic cup with a 5 or less.
If you are really going to do that, get a 2 liter bottle of water or something.
Just as easy to take 2 tubs, fill the bottom tub with water and the heater, then put the other tub on top with some weight.

lol the original heabomb design couldnt even be a fire hazard if it WANTED to be one, simple because a good heater turns itself off if it exceeds 40°C or more 
original bomb was used for years, fully maintenance free, and the thread isnt about a TiT but, small scale, heatbomb

good idea, I might try it! even though I have 2 tubs for a tub-in-tub incubator, this sounds like it's worth a try

I was actually about to attempt to make a larger scale one out of a gallon tea container, but it's completely symmetrical, no handle or anything. I want to use it for off-season incubating and I think I'm gonna try LM's heat shock as well.

Here's my setup:
INCUBATOR --------- Made from house-insulation building material.

MEAUSUREMENT ------------ This digital meter reads temperature and humidity in both Centigrade and Fahrenheit. Around 82°F (a bit on the hot side) as i'm incubating Stropharia rugoso-annulata.

INSIDE VIEW ----------- Several attemps to make Stropharia rugoso-annulata spawn in the jars. The bags contain pasturised straw inoculated with Pleurotus ostreatus grain spawn.

HEATBOMB -------- This one i made a year ago. A glass bottle and an aquarium heater 100 Watts.

I'm not planning a big grow so it should be fine
the jars I inoculated failed (spores were too old) but the substrate still seems fine and not smelling funky. So I'm going to re-inoculate with fresh spores and first I'm going to build this heat bomb!

do NOT do this, something could still germinate without you noticing and all of a sudden you got various strains going causing major fuckup.
ill pm you this aswell.

Wouldn't filling silica sand in a tub and burying the thermometer and jars a lil work as well?
