Good Actually I've had a couple of more successful batches- I'll go into detail in another post.

But the 'hot plate' of a coffee machine might well be hot enough??
Exactly. In the states (not sure about the UK) there's a brand called 'Mr Coffee' and they sell Just the warming plate as an accessory. (see links below). Anyway- The specs say it operates at 212F/100C so it would be perfect...

Exactly the problem. I think (fingers crossed). I used a crock pot and it's been working! Still problems though... It's sweet and sour. I'll go into more detail in a future post when I'm not so wasted on a batch of these things... I need to make adjustments because they don't seem to be 'saving' me any weed, and I don't consider myself to he a HEAVY stoner (anymore that is). Stay tuned because I'll probably post a bunch tonight or tomorrow...:stoned:
