A catalytic heating system for heating a container, comprising: a catalytic combustion chamber; a catalytic reaction media having a toroidal shape, with the catalytic reaction media disposed within the combustion chamber, and with the catalytic reaction media in contact with a bottom plate of the container; a fuel and air mixing injector for injecting an entrained air and fuel gas mixture into the combustion chamber; and a fuel canister for supplying fuel gas to the fuel and air mixing injector. The catalytic heating system also includes a system for heating a heating plate comprising: a catalytic combustion chamber; a catalytic reaction media having a toroidal shape, with the catalytic reaction media disposed within the combustion chamber, and with the catalytic reaction media in contact with the heating plate; a fuel and air mixing injector for injecting an entrained air and fuel gas mixture into the combustion chamber; and a fuel canister for supplying fuel gas to the fuel and air mixing injector.
