Hello All,
Regarding the melt belt, George J. Biles wrote, "... otherwise the HOT (no
thermostat, unfortunately) belt will cut into the bucket...."
Aaron wrote:
Well, I'd be concerned then for the effect on the honey. Temperatures hot
enough to melt the plastic belt surely will damage the honey. To protect
the honey I'd utilize something with a thermostat to assure the honey does
not get heated too hot or too long.
One possible solution is to use the Walter Kelley *Heat limit control* on
page 50 of the 2001 catalog.
Plug the belt into the heat limit control and the control into the wall
socket. Place the bulb in the five gallon pail. Set the temperature you
want and forget. Don't buy a belt heater to use on honey without a
thermostat ( as Aaron said earlier). An old immersion heater thermostat
can be converted to a heat limit control also.
Sincerely,
Bob Harrison
