I don't have a hot room, but I have made a hot stack.  I basically have 
placed two 100 watt heating elements (from American Science and Surplus) 
wound through 1/2 inch hardware cloth.  A computer fan from the same source 
blows air in to that hive body.  The supers I wish to warm are place on top 
where the warm air is forced through.  I need no thermostatic control.  I 
place a remote reading thermometer on top of the stack to monitor what is 
happening.

I can do 4 or 5 supers at a time.  I generally get up to about 85 degrees at 
the top of the stack... 95 at the bottom... in about 24 hours.  It extracts 
well.  For my warming needs, it works.

I have never tried completely crystallized comb, but I would expect it would 
work, if only a bit slower.  I have yet to melt any wax in the warmer.
