honey warmer

[King bee apiary]

I saw the other post about a honey super warmer but was wondering if anyone has ever used an old deep freeze with 100 watt light bulbs to put bulk containers of honey into to make bottling easier or re-liquify it?
I would like to make something like this to store bulk honey in as long as it has no ill effects on the honey.
Thanks

I use an old Freg. with a 150 watt blub controlled by a dimmer switch ( wall type used in home ) and a degital thermometor, got about 20 bux in the hole thing and I keep a bucket of honey with a gate at about 100 - 110 degrees ready to bottle.

I use a electric water heater thermostat to control 2 100 watt bulbs. Can crank it up to 170 and melt wax if you want to. Or the low setting of 90 degrees for honey.

I use a old chest freezer outfitted with a cheap ceramic heater and a thermostate, though light bulbs would do fine but might take longer to get up to temperature when I put in seven 5 gallon buckets that were stored in an unheated building.

I turn it up to 100-110 degrees for about 3 days, enough to liquify completely crystalized buckets, then turn it back down again for storage until it is sold and I repeat the cycle.

It's not fancy, but mine is pictured here:
