To make the hot wax method reasonably practical for commuting in the Pacific Northwest, I might buy a couple more chains. (Then I won't have to heat up the pot so often.) I really like not having oily grime on my chain, sprockets, hands, and clothes.
It's not a very impressive testimony to the waxing method of lubrication. I still use oil and am not tempted to try wax.
