I like thermal stirrers best. They are cheap to buy, easy to build, and easy to mimic with existing heat sources, so you have lots of options taking that route. I also find it an additional benefit that the gentle warmth of a thermal stirrer maintains and/or quickens production; especially during the winter months when the house is much cooler. I have several silverpuppy devices running on three different types of thermal stirrers, and they all run great.
