Thanks Franky, but you still get fluctuations in temp. I have a timer on it and this time of year the temp varies a fair bit. If I have the brew belt on overnight, the temp goes to 24-26 degrees. If its off, it hovers down around 18-20, which is fine but I'm worried one night it will decrease below 18. From all reports, tyhe two biggest keys to a successful brew is sanitation and constant temperature. I have been reading other sites which suggest puting your fermenter in a larger container, fill the second container with water and put an aquarium heater in the second container. Sounds like a good idea to me.
