John,

Are you able to purchase your heating elements locally . . . everything I see in catalogs is running around $75.00 before shipping.

I bought the expensive ones for the brooders I built last year, but I made out like a bandit on the ones from years ago.
A local farm & fleet store had dozens of heating elements for a buck each that they were discontinuing.  Most were about 16 inches long and varied between 150 and 450 watts.  They were replacement elements for watering troughs.  I built several brooders using them, with wafer thermostats, for myself and others.
