Bargain Thermostat
I got a 24" x 48" heat mat this year, and when I plugged it in it went over 100 degrees F. I went to Home Depot and got a light dimmer switch, and after jacking it back and forth a few times I was able to stabilize the temp on the mat at 80 degrees. The dimmer switch only cost about $11. So far I think I'm pretty clever.
