I was thinking about using an old fridge as a seedling cabinet. I am tempted to use the resistor of an out of order pizza oven plugged on a small 12 V transformer to heat the cabinet.
I didn't do the math yet to know if I could achieve a suitable temperature, because this idea led to my wondering whether there could be any security issue with such a setup ?
I am not talking about obvious fire issues of a too hot resistor, I'm rather thinking about potential fire hazard from the transformer.
The transformer is 12 V/5 A, so my understanding is that anything above 2.4 Ω should be ok ? The resistor being supposed to be about a few tens of ohms, plugging it directly should be safe ?
