I've got a trash can full of comb taken from used frames that I recently
purchased.  I need an efficient way to render this.  I was wondering if
anyone had used a crock pot - It would seem that I can keep the
temperature high enough to melt the wax but well below the flash point.
Any thoughts?  I really don't want to purchase expensive equipment for a
one time project.  (The combs were inspected for scale prior to my
purchase.)   Thanks!
