I solved this problem for about $20. Went to WalMart, though a number
of places would do, bought a variable temp. heating pad, $17, and a
RubberMaid storage box $4. Chipped a small hole for the electric with
a box cutter blade, about 5 minutes work. Be sure your box selection
fits your various baking setups: baskets, sheet pans, etc... Place a
clean damp sponge it there, load it it up. Works great. And, best of
all... is predictable. Dough rises on schedule.
