Two things:

A fridge or freezer thermostat wouldn't work because a fridge or freezer
thermostat makes an electrical contact on a RISE in temperature. So, it
would work backward to what you want. It would turn the heater on as
the room warmed up rather than turning it on as the room cooled down.

Had not intention of salvaging a thermostat from a fridge or freezer
Nor do I intend to do anything that requires fiddling

I'm looking for and off the shelf, plug and play solution.
(And a couple have already been shown)


Contrary to popular belief, you can freeze milk. I still remember
watching newsreels in school that showed people buying frozen milk by
the pound in Churchill, Manitoba. They would take it home, put it in a
pail, let it melt and drink it.


Been there done that.
I like having liquid milk when one of the kids goes down to get the next
bottle
So that's why I intend to keep the room above freezing
