Hi all, I need to heat a steel rod 12inches long and half and inch in
diameter up to around 40 degrees centigrade and keep it within 2degrees.
It
will need to be kept constantly at this temperature. it can only be
heated
at one end, the other end needs to be un cluttered.

Any suggestions how I can do this?

Besides all the comments here about how to go about this, it might be an
idea to say what you are using this for - someone might have an easy
suggestion for you to achieve your aim.

I'd love to tell you, but if i told you, i'd have to kill you!

I'm a bit of an inventor, this only one part of the gadget i am currently
working on. Any help to solve this problem as simply and as cheaply as
possible is most helpful!

Cheers

Steve
