$14 is so cheap that, if you get free shipping, you'll be hard pressed to beat it at Good will where I got mine; I've seen them even cheaper online.
I'd get as small a one as can fit a coiled up chain just covered with liquid, and with the pot removable from the heating element. In fact, I keep meaning to replace my ~3 qt one with something smaller. I make a hook out of an old spoke or coathangar, and insert it into one end of the coiled chain before I put it into the pot; I make it long enough that the other end of the hook, also hooked, can hook over the side of the pot. And I just dump the coiled chain on the cold, solid wax and turn the machine on and walk away for an hour or so; then swirl it a bit, fish it out, let it drip, and then hang. (It's easier to do this if the pot is on the floor.) I've been wiping my chain while hot to remove the surface wax; Ron doesn't wipe, and he uses a leather glove, I hear. I didn't notice this with the Molten wax, but with regular paraffin the residue that clings to and dries on the surfaces of the chain will flake off in little dandruff flakes, which is why I wipe mine. The chain will also be a bit stiff after it cools; that's not a problem, as reinstalling it will limber it up. Tell us how it works for your beach environment.
