Drying box: What I came up with

Thanks guys for all the tips on making a heated dry box. Here is what I came up with. What size bulb are you guys using for a heat source? Any recommendations on being able to get this bad boy to hang between 80 and 100 Degrees?

Thanks for the input,

MS

Thanks guys! Anybody have experience with heat bulbs? I was thinking of using a 125 or 250 watt bulb, that should get it cooking! Is there a fire danger? I was going to line the bulb opening with heavy duty tinfoil as a heat shield? Question I have is that much heat close to the lower wheel will hit those baits pretty hard. Can I use a piece of aluminum over the light slot opening that will diffuse the direct heat, but still allow it to heat the box?

Lots of thoughts, always looking for tips.
Thanks,

MS
