Duda DieselSmall Silicone Pail Heater Adjustable Thermostat 400W 110V/120V 790Mm X 102Mm

Attachment to 5 gal. bucket easy with included springs. Thermostat is accurate with Fahrenheit markings now. Works great!

Works fantastic, I gave this 5 stars overall. On easy to use: I gave it 4 stars because It’s gauged in Celsius not Fahrenheit.I would recommend buying your own springs, then springs that come on the hooks simply don’t have the stretch or pliability needed. I purchase some 3 inch springs from Lowe’s that matched the size I needed to retain adequate tension. The first time I attempted to attach the springs one broke. I added the photos to show the springs I purchased, as well as the broken spring. The bucket in the photo is a standard blue buckets from Lowe’sThe also be sure to monitor your temp with a outside thermometer. The gauge on the heater is not constant, so to ensure you’re maintaining a certain temp inside of the bucket or pail you’ll need a good High range thermometer like for grilling or cooking.

We have not tried it to soften very stiff honey. Once we spin more frames, we will put it to use.

It works. Seems to be much lower power than indicated though. I have not put an ammeter on it, yet, to confirm. Also seems that the set point temperature is not accurate. Runs alot cooler than the dial setting.

This product definitely does heat up, but it is not a 'pail heater'. I bought it to put inside a container and boil a cow skull to prep it for art - like a sous vide. It wasn't quite what i expected so we tried instead wrapping it around a bucket, which is exactly what it's supposed to do - it's basically a heating belt. But it's really cheaply made - honestly, it looks like some kid's 7th-grade science project - and it started smoking and melting. Needless to say, we unplugged and scrapped it.
