Another question guys,

At what temperature would you use the heat barrel in the barn? Below freezing?

20kidsonhill, thanks for the lightbulb knowledge. I had no idea. about leaving the curly bulbs on.

Just stock up on the regular 100 watt bulbs now. Unless you have a lot of births, I bet you wouldn't even burn out a bulb in one season.

As far as I'm concerned, anything in the 50 degree range or under and I will have my warming barrel going. Maybe not during the day but at least at night. My DH put a switch on mine so I can easily just switch it on and off. I also found that the 100 watt bulb really does warm the barrel up enough.
