It's without a thermostat, so is it ok without a thermostat?
Or do I really need one?
If you get a good enough appliance timer then you don't need a thermostat. you'll need a appliance timer anyways, I bought one that has 2 "clips" per hour so it can go off them on within the hour to get a cooler tempature. It seems to work good. I tried to use a thermostat, but it didn't read the actually temps, was about 15F off at all times(expensive one too)
