I use an electric coffeepot  (80-100 cup) and dip over water ( about
 
two to three inches of wax floating on top.  I use a separate teapot
in an electric skillet to melt the wax and keep the level up.  Cool
weather and time between dips allows buildup and not removal as dipped
through the wax and into the water.  Nice and safe.  I do wrap the
coffeepot with a blanket when warming it up.
