I'm curious as to how well one would work out with heating a small to mid sized closet when wired to a herpstat or similar.

Ones I find are generally 800 to 1250 watts so I would think that would be sufficient? They've a built in fan. Perhaps another fan in the closet for circulation would help to keep temperatures more even.

They would take up much less space (that could be used for eggs) than an oil heater, that's for sure. Cost of operation vs an oil heater, probably about the same?
