Abstract: A non-thermostatic heating device is provided with temperature range control whereby materials may be heated and melted to a safe or desired temperature and maintained, particularly soy based non-candle formulated waxes for skin therapy as well as aromatherapy waxes generally. The device is vented and comprises a non flammable insulative container such as treated paper tubing and semi insulative elements, particularly one or more enclosed air pockets which are predetermined in dimension or movable for change in volume to provide a desired equilibrium temperature range.
Abstract: An oven attachment is provided for a camping lantern, in which the oven attachment is configured to be attached to the lantern so as to form an integral component of the lantern. In particular, the oven attachment provides an enclosure in which foods and beverage containers can be placed and uniformly heated with the heat generated by a conventional camping lantern. The versatility of the oven attachment is enhanced by the ability to regulate the temperature of the enclosure with a damper assembly. Yet the oven attachment is constructed such that its use and structure does not interfere with the safe operation of the lantern as intended by the manufacturer, nor does the oven attachment significantly diminish the lighting capability of the lantern.

Abstract: A stove device attachment for a conventional lantern having a fuel reservoir, a glass globe enclosing a mantle which is illuminated by fuel from the reservoir, and a central connection for a draft hood. The attachment is connected to the top of the lantern by removing the ferrule or nut from the central connection for the draft hood positioning the attachment over the draft hood so that the central connection extends through a hole in the top plate or stove surface of the attachment, and replacing the ferrule or nut on the central connection. The attachment comprises three elements, a shield, a stove surface, and a skirt. The skirt is a tubular metal member which fits over the draft hood. The stove surface or grate fits over the skirt and the bottom surface of the grate is secured within the top of the skirt. The shield is secured to the back of the grate.
