I ran into the same thing when I went back to Walmart for another
coffee cup warmer.

They now call these candle warmers to heat the aroma therapy
candles where flames are not allowed or where the soot given off
by the candle when it burns is objectionable.

Look in the Artsy-Fartsy section. As the clerk for a candle
warmer if you cant find one. Big notice on the package that
these are not to be used to warm food or beverage. This may be
why they aren't sold as coffee warmers anymore.

Last winter I used lamps to slightly warm my mill and lathe over the
cold period when I don't use the shop (to keep the condensation problem
down). I'm doing that right now, but the light bulbs burn out and even
when working they make a nice glow that escapes the garage, probably
alerting the up-to-no-good-types that there's something of value in there.

I've been looking for coffee-cup warmers, which I've read will do
something similar as they put out about 25 watts of heat. They don't
seem to be around anymore.

Any other suggestions? I have a Model Engineer's Workshop issue from a
few years ago that has a DIY thermostat and heater project, but I'd just
as soon use something cheap and ready-made.
