you could try and place it in a hot box. I made mine out of an old
chest freezer and placed a 100 watt bulb in it. I then place either
supers of honey inside or pails of honey that chystalized for a day or
two (watch inside temp closely) and then when warmed enough or
decrystalized either bottle or extract.
