I don't have a heater in there, but from my brews before the fridge the problem was keeping it cool, not warm. Does anybody with more experience than me have thoughts on why I might need a heater?

Looking forward to trying this out in a few weeks.

Diacetyl rest benefits from increased temps, also kveik can be fun to use at high temps.

I would also install a small fan in there, it seems to significantly help with more stabile temps, and an insulating layer on top of the probe otherwise it's just reading air-temp and not wort temp.

For he insulation layer, I've seen people use sponges. Do you recommend anything else?

No i use that too, works well and it's cheap.
