We use a 'simple' arrangement of a pot of water siting on top of a stove. 
The pot has a lid with two holes in it. One is left open, the other is fed 
to a mask which has a thermometer in it (So we do not cook the casualty!)

We normally carry a flask of hot water if we take this kit out to make the 
heat up time shorter. We used to use a 'Little Dragon' which used soda 
lime (I think) but there was a scare about possible inhalation of soda 
lime.
