I have a black drum i found - 35 gallon I think, with a lid on it with a metal ring closer. I put a drop light with a 100 watt bulb in the bottom of the drum. I 'borrowed' :-X a parts basket made of wire and inverted it in the bottom of the drum to cover the drop light and give the 5 gal. bucket a place to rest on and a little space away from the drop light. So from the bottom up its: drop light, covered by a wire basket, set the 5 gallon bucket on top. I close the lid and it takes @ a day to melt a completely solidified bucket - the honey doesn't appear to get over 108 degrees the times I've tested it.
There's a link on this forum somewhere that shows how to make honey melter using a freezer with some ceramic light fixtures and a thermostat...
