My counter top fridge (warming cabinet) with a 75 watt tube heater thernostatically controlled to 45 degrees took the better part of 48 hours to melt a 30 lb bucket .. in fairness it was quicker melting set jars but as I only jar up as I sell and having invested in the Lidl jam maker it went to the tip. The jam maker is smaller to store and does a better, quicker, job. No brainer for me.
I have a bucket warming in the urn at 35C. It went in yesterday in the evening, it was set, I've just given it a thorough stirring to mix in the top bit and will run it into the decanting bucket later.
