I don't know, but I have just been using one of two things, neither terribly high-tech. One is a microwaveable heat pack for the "Pyrex Portables". It's about 9 X 13, and it stays warm for a really long time.
The other is a 1 gallon Ziploc bag filled with warm tap water. It stays hot enough to keep the chocolate at the perfect temperature for over an hour.

I have an old school warming tray that I got at a flea market a few years ago. They are used for buffets to keep food warm and works great for melting chocolate and keeping it melted. I think I've seen some online when I was looking for one for a friend, but I'd try the local flea markets for it cheaper.
When I'm doing truffles, I use an electric frying pan filled with about 1" of water set on low. I set my containers of chocolate in it and it stays warm.
formerbuckeye I have a couple of frypans so I will try that. So I would have the chocolate in glass containers and just scoop it out when I need it? I would be using parchment bags as I can't get the squeeze bottles here and it was such an issue to get them sent from US and freight killed the idea.
Thanks
That's what I do. I have different kinds of melted chocolate in bowls set down in the water until I'm ready to dip the truffles. Just be careful not to get any water (even a drop) in your melted chocolate as it will cease up. When you pick up your container, wipe off the bottom. Good luck!
