I purchased this, is it sufficient?

If you got the heater in the picture you posted above you'll need this controller

One ifthese?

No. That is the full size type. That is fine for heating a whole room, but not for a night box.

You need a mini radiant oil-filled heater.

My mistake thank you for the correction Tom.

I already have a whole size one, will heating the whole room work?

Hello!
It should work, however heating the whole room to 85F will result in higher electricity bill.

With such set up you may use radiator without plugging an external thermostat (just the knobs on the radiator itself).

Hi alex,
Sounds good. I'll try it out and return with the answers as soon as I know.

The most important parameter to watch for is a temperature closer to the floor in the box. Once it settles down to the desired value (85F) you can close the mesh windows on top of the box to maintain humidity inside.
