  If you plan to stay in beekeeping and possibly expand you may
wish to use something like this.  Here is what I use to render combs:

It may be more than you need at this time but is something to consider in
the future.

If you need a larger wax melter Clay a 55 gallon drum can be used in the
same way with one or two belt heaters
or
you can find a 55 gallon drum with a lower bung hole and adapt your
immersion heater to fit but will need to drill a small hole in the drum side
as the bulb length is to short to reach when used over the side.

The heater in your picture is made by Walter Kelley company  but sold by
several bee supply houses.
