Abstract: An accessory mounting arrangement is provided for vehicles wherein a removable accessory is mounted to the vehicle via a projecting arm which is slidably received within a tubular element, attached to the chassis and floor structure of the vehicle along a vehicle side, and abutting a structural wall which limits sliding motion of the projecting arm. Preferably, the tubular element is formed as a conventionally sized hitch receiver, and the projecting arm is telescopically received in the tubular element at one end of the arm, while the other end of the arm includes a vertical adjustment structure which supports a platform for positively locating and supporting devices for supplemental function, such as a bar-b-que grill. Multiple tubular elements can be so mounted along the side of the vehicle, so as to provide multiple alternative and cooperative accessory ports, and removable covers are provided for aesthetic benefits when a given port is not in use.

Abstract: A stovetop extraction apparatus and method for rendering infused lipids for ingestion in the home including a base compartment, an insertable portion seatable into the base compartment, and an upper compartment having an internal chamber disposed in open communication with a column projecting into the upper compartment, wherein lipids and water dispositional interior to the base compartment are heatable upon a stovetop, said lipids thereby conveyable, by action of saturated steam producible interior to the base compartment, across substrate disposed in the insertable portion, into the internal chamber, up the column, and thereby collectable in the upper compartment separate from the substrate, whereby substrates dispositional interior to the insertable portion are subject to extraction of lipophilic substances therefrom and infused lipids are thereby rendered collectable in the upper compartment for use in subsequent culinary or medicinal preparations.
