A food dehydrator might work--just make sure that the thermostat doesn't
have too wide a deadband--you don't want to melt the things. I did some
experiments some time back and found that a temperature of 53C had
little effect, but 58C did the trick, so the temp is somewhat critical.
An incubator might also do the trick. My own setup is a nice piece of
furniture, and uses a PID controller but I suspect that there are all
sorts of setups that should work. Do not use your kitchen oven--the low
temperature control on those is terrible. My own "cooker" will hold to
+/- 0.5C.

What about a food dehydrator?
Good idea... I'll look those up. I had been looking at lab ovens,
environmental chambers and incubators, but not finding something both
"right" and "cheap".
