So I had an idea.
Jars in rubbermaid half filled with water, submerged aquarium heater set on highest temp.
Will this work, or will I blow myself up?

Hm, looks really interesting and functional. But, how many degrees an aquarium heater is able to reach? You have to be in Hell to see Heaven - W. BurroughsUbu is a surreal personage. Everything he does is pure fiction. Everything he says is pure nonsense.

110ºC? This is far above the temp needed. I believe even 110ºF (~43ºC) would help. One recent discussion suggests 50ºC: https://www.dmt-nexus.me...spx?g=posts&m=178843So, an aquarium heater would be more than enough to keep the mixture warm. It seems to me that the ideal aquarium heater would be one with a thermostat in order to keep the temperature constant, right? You have to be in Hell to see Heaven - W.

Lolno. its listed as 110 F maxed, but usually when I record the temp of the water its around 115-120 F

Oh, that is enough. I have a friend who works at an aquarium store. I will ask him about the safety of these heaters and I'll post back soon. Your idea sounds great! Thanks for sharing it.

Yes indeed, that will work. I can tell you from experience it works very well. Ice House is an alter ego. The threads, postings, replys, statements, stories, and private messages made by Ice House are 100% unadulterated Bull Shit. Every aspect of the Username Ice House is pure fiction. Any likeness to SWIM or any real person is purely coincidental. The creator of Ice House does not condone or participate in any illicit activity what so ever. The makebelieve character known as Ice House is owned and operated by SWIM and should not be used without SWIM's expressed written consent.

You'll want it at at least 55c if you plan to save any time. Hotter is better but of course since aquarium heaters are very safe and designed to be left on for weeks you could just set and forget for a day or so.
