I use a double burner hot plate for melting my wax for repours (I place my pour pot into a pan of hot water to heat). I also have a griddle.... it is an excellent jar warmer , I put down thick alum foil to cover the whole griddle surface, then place paper towels down on top of that (I never leave unattended because of this) and then place jars on upside down , and then totally cover the jars w/long sheets of aluminum foil to keep them warm. I set the temp at 125 for warming my jars. I also warm my votive cups on it. You can level pillars on it. You can also place your wax utensils, pots, etc on it to melt the wax off of them. Just lots of great ways to use them!
