My warming cabinet is an insulated tea chest with a soil warming cable zig -zagged at the base
I use an old 25 cubic foot freezer as a warmer. As mentioned before, I use two 100 watt light bulbs as a heat source, but to keep the temperature even, I also run a small computer fan that moves the air past the light bulbs and around the chamber. It is controlled by an old bimetallic thermostat that I had to adjust to have it hold 100 degrees F. This is large enough to warm a lot of honey. Two crystalized 60 pound buckets will liquefy in 48 hours.
I also have a smaller warmer I use for warming cool supers before I extract them. It runs on a 100 watt heating cable I bought from American Science and Surplus. Air is forces up through a stack of supers by a fan.
