I have a large chest freezer that I have converted to a honey heater.  I heat it
with two 100 watt light bulbs attached to a thermostat set at 100 degrees.  I
liquefy jars that have crystallized as well as 60 pound square jugs.  How long it
takes relates to how much I load in, but just as a hint, I recently liquefied
about 100 pounds (including one 60 pounder) in about two and a half days.

I found that a small circulating fan (originally used to cool a computer) helps
even the heat and therefore the liquefying process.  It only runs when the bulbs
are on.
