Warming Cabinet Thermostat

[Outlander]

I have been mulling this over and it seems a great idea. What is the difference (apart from cost) between the L*dl jam maker and a Burco boiler?

Would there be any problem with steam/water getting into the honey bucket, or have I missed the point?

No idea how you would use a burco to warm honey without a lot of mess. Never seen a jam maker but from how Rab has described it, it's no more than a double boiler on a large scale. But I don't believe Rab has disco lights.

No, its not a double boiler.
Its just a big enamelled tea-urn with the element outside the tank, a decent thermostat (with timer that only starts when the preset temperature is reached) and a neat rack to go inside …

The big idea is to put a smallish honey bucket in warm water for long enough to redissolve the crystals ...

Where can I source a mains fan to circulate the warm air? All I can find are desk fans

AC mains fan from maplin £16.99. If you want a DC fan take one from an old PC but you will need a transformer to go with it

… If you want a DC fan take one from an old PC but you will need a transformer to go with it

For "transformer" read : an appropriate "fat plug" mains adaptor from an old radio or whatever.
You need a DC output voltage no more than what the fan is rated as. Lower (like half) should be OK. The fan will be slower (and quieter).
Generally larger fans are quieter than small ones (and shift more air) …

Things running on "train set" voltages (12v DC or less) should be much safer than mains.

Sadly, to the electronically challenged, do you have a picture please?

There is a point where the "challenge" needs to be accepted as too great, and assistance in person sought.
Its safer that way.

Nevertheless, I was referring to using something like this http://www.eco-eye.com/products-poweradaptor.html
