So I am thinking of using a glass jar with sterile water and a sonic fogger to add RH.

Adding heat and stirring the air will be accomplished by a 12V 12A hair dryer...


Nathan,
are you sure that's 12 amps at 12 volts?  That would be only 144 watts.  That seems somewhat wimpy for a hair dryer.  Are you sure that's not 120 volts?   Most hair dryers use about 750 watts to 1500 watts.  For an incubator, why not use some power resistors and a fan?
