Great information! I've resorted to setting my starter and dough in the oven with just the light on which seems to bring it to perfect temp. I finally have sourdough success! ** I tape a note to the oven knob warning others from accidently turning the oven on.

Temperature really is important. I use a colorful magnet when I use the oven to proof, put it right next to the controls. It's only my wife and me in the house, so little change of an accidental oven turn on, but it does happen!
