A portable warming assembly includes a canister and a lid that is removably attachable to the canister for closing the canister. A roll of solid fuel is positionable inside of the canister and the roll of solid fuel is comprised of a combustible material. A container containing a liquid fuel is provided and a pre-determined amount of the liquid fuel is pourable onto the roll of solid fuel when the roll of solid fuel is positioned in the canister. In this way the liquid fuel enhances combustion of the roll of solid fuel. A plurality of rocks is provided and each of the rocks is positionable on top of the roll of solid fuel when the roll of solid fuel is positioned in the canister. Each of the rocks heats the ambient air when the roll of solid fuel and the liquid fuel are burned for heating an interior space.

An evaporator assembly (10), in particular for a fuel-operated vehicle heater (12), comprising a pot-like evaporator reception (14), an evaporator body (16) inserted into the pot-like evaporator reception (14), a plate-like designed hold-down element (18), which is fixed to the evaporator reception (14) and fixes the evaporator body (16) in the evaporator reception (14), and wherein the plate-like designed hold-down element (18) has at least one retaining claw (22), which has an upper part (26) on an upper side (24) of the plate-like designed hold-down element (18) and a lower part (30) on a lower side (28) of the plate-like designed hold-down element (18), wherein the upper part (26) and the lower part (30) point away from the plate-like designed hold-down element (18).

A system and method for generating combustion aerosols from liquid fuel. The system includes a furnace with an inner heating tube having a heating tape wrapped thereabout. Further, the system includes a fuel line extending through an inlet end of the heating tube and into the heating tube, and a means for dripping the liquid fuel onto a plurality of different locations on an inner surface of the heating tube. The system further includes a power supply to power the heating tape to heat the inner heating tube to a temperature which can ignite the liquid fuel dripped onto the inner surface of the inner heating tube whereby there is an immediate combustion to form combustion products. Finally, the system includes an air line connected to the heating tube for directing compressed air through the inner heating tube to mix with the combustion products and transport the formed combustion aerosols out of an outlet end of the inner heating tube.
